Very surreal but wonderful story. The characters are endearing, the events magical and the settings transport you, at times, to a beautiful place. It is told back and forth between the tragic, but gifted Nakata's life and purpose and the 15-year-old runaway calling himself "Kafka" and the people he encounters as he tries to find his way to his life and purpose. Funny, sad, strange, sweet and moving. An enjoyable journey!
