The book is written by Haruki Murakami. It is a novel with parallel tracks with open interpretation. Two tracks, one of Kafka Tamura a young runaway boy and other about a senile cat conversing man named Nakata develops in parallel. Both tracks are linked through some kind of mystical alter reality.
The book was very interesting. It was like watching a suspense thriller, horror, psychic, philosophic, slow motion and fast-tracked beautifully video graphed movie. Such was the details and lucid nature of writing by the author. For a moment I felt speechless, nostalgic and little heavy deep inside. It drained me a little. For no reason, I felt lonely, lost in some other world.
The parallel tracks unravel in a convoluting manner and it is difficult to understand what the author is trying to convey and who's who? But despite these open-ended patterns, the book leaves you demanding more and open the window of some other world of thoughts. The only thing I regret about this book is "why did I take so long to finish this one?". It is a wonderful read.
