Kafka On the Shore

What is the meaning behind this again?

Magical realism is a valid literary tool.

Could you expand on this, please?

Tried reading it, didn't get it

You can write absolute trash and someone, somewhere, will inject meaning into it

i remember when i first read it, i was able to pick out a hand full of ideas of what i thought it was about. i kinda forget now what i thought, but its certainly a fun read. easy too. japanese literature is usually enjoyable, i just hate remember all the names. im reading six four now and i cant remember who is who because they are all names starting with either M, A, or H.

good thing they did what 100 years of solitude did and write most of the names in the beginning of the book.

The story is a metaphor the the modern history of Japan, you asshole. That said, I reckon Haruki lost his way with the story.

I read the Arabic version which started with the Prologue right away.
