A review of Haruki Murakami's "Kafka on the Shore" in English, from Book Munch. Kiki, the reviewer, said: "Murakami's latest is a modern retelling of the Oedipus story. It is also the story of two individuals and their search for answers." "Reading this novel I often felt like a second grader wading through "Crime and Punishment". There is a sense of vertigo swirling around many of the events and characters. Dream-like evocations are everywhere while concrete facts are illusive. I suspect that often Murakami's language sings and soars and performs back flips off the high board."
