あらすじ・解説
Kafka on the Shore is a multifaceted novel, a surreal masterpiece by Haruki Murakami. In this episode, we explore in a brief analysis the uniqueness of Murakami’s prose, utilization of theme, plot, and ‘gaps of nothingness’ that he employs to keep the premise abstract and wandering. This novel holds great importance to Hans, as it is a major influence to his style. This episode will serve as the first in our Mature Literary Dips series which review and analyze works with mature themes such as strong sexuality, recurring violence, etc.
TW: Please note- we talk about sexual themes in terms of literary motif and symbolism. There is no graphic description. Also, please research the content of Murakami's novels before reading if you are uncomfortable with mature themes and content.
Rating of Kafka on the Shore: 9.5/10
