WHY is this book so loved? I mean, I didn't gain anything out of it. I'm not asking this as an insult. I genuinely want to know what the special thing about this book is.
Boris I agree with Christopher. In order to fully sink into the ideas Murakami is trying to develop in "Kafka on the shore", one must read "Hard Boiled Wond…moreI agree with Christopher. In order to fully sink into the ideas Murakami is trying to develop in "Kafka on the shore", one must read "Hard Boiled Wonderland" and "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle". Kafka on the shore is a challenging read and people are explaining the events that happen in the story in the wrong way. I am tired of facepalming myself when someone exhales "Oh, he is trying to create modern time myths.". Wtf.(less)
