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。。。
评分##被R硬塞给我让我读英文版，囧（ps.事实证明英文版果然比中文版好啊）

评分##翻译的超级棒！胜过原著！
评分##开篇以后我就知道，在《且听风吟》里对村上产生的偏见终于停歇了。我开始从心里接受他的故事。也许应该找林少华的译本来读读。
评分##end for end, begin for begin.
