15-year-old Kafka Tamura runs away from home, both to escape his father's oedipal prophecy and to find his long-lost mother and sister. As Kafka flees, so too does Nakata, an elderly simpleton whose quiet life has been upset by a gruesome murder. What follows is a kind of double odyssey, as Kafka and Nakata are drawn inexorably along their separate but somehow linked paths, groping to understand the roles fate has in store for them.

Meeka says:
Well this was a National Bestseller, but I don't really know why. I didn't enjoy and had to force myself to finish it. It was just not the Murakami that I have come to appreciate.
