Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! We have been really interested in learning about Haruki Murakami's writing. He's so different from other authors. Let's talk about one of his fan favorites, "Kafka on the Shore", today!

With themes of fate, time, coming of age, music, and more: allusions to Oedipus, Shakespeare, Hegel, Henri Bergson, etc: and the usual Murakami scenes we have a lot to digest! I'm sure we all want it explained but we're actually going to take a different route here. I know you may have wondered what does the ending mean, and we could go on for hours on Nakata, Miss Saeki, Crow, Oshino, Kafka, and Colonel Sanders as the characters were so engaging, but let's take this on a more experiential level! While we can go into various rational explanations for this surrealist work, we wanted to explore this more from a dreamlike and malleable take. This story has a lot to it so let's get to talk about what we saw in Kafka on the Shore!
