具体描述
《村上春树:海边的卡夫卡》为英文版：The opening pages of a Haruki Murakami novel can be like the view out an airplane window onto tarmac. But at some point between page three and fifteen——it's page thirteen in Kafka On The Shore——the deceptively placid narrative lifts off, and you find yourself breaking through clouds at a tilt, no longer certain where the plane is headed or if the laws of flight even apply.
Joining the rich literature of runaways, Kafka On The Shore follows the solitary, self-disciplined schoolboy Kafka Tamura as he hops a bus from Tokyo to the randomly chosen town of Takamatsu, reminding himself at each step that he has to be "the world1s toughest fifteen-year-old." He finds a secluded private library in which to spend his days——continuing his impressive self-education——and is befriended by a transgendered clerk and the mysteriously remote head librarian, Miss Saeki, whom he fantasizes may be his long-lost mother. Meanwhile, in a second, wilder narrative spiral, an elderly Tokyo man named Nakata veers from his calm routine by murdering a stranger. An unforgettable character, beautifully delineated by Murakami, Nakata can speak with cats but cannot read or write, nor explain the forces drawing him toward Takamatsu and the other characters.

评分##十一天读毕，最后一天，一塌糊涂。
评分##2021.12, 把英文版又看了一遍
评分##终于读完了，读到最后越来越迷糊，不知道情节怎么穿插的，不过英文版的翻译的确不错，通俗易懂，还能教你很多人身体部分的单词，我发誓读这本书之前绝不知道BJ,hand-job,jack off等单词，很俚语，很专业哦。
评分##charmingly flawed, disturbingly entertaining
评分##sustained silent reading练习 2018-11-19 没读完这本书，可是我的高中已经走完了。不过我还会记得那一个个读《黑骏马》的日子，也会记得我傻乎乎地买了一本海边的卡夫卡英文版的日子，也许这就是zy带给我的高中生活的一些用来追忆的抓手。
评分文字的确很棒，但这本的内容我依旧是觉得太“神叨”了……不论是英文还是中文……于是乎，英文这本我看了一大半后搁置了。。。
