Wrapped in magical realism through the intricately woven story of two characters, Kafka and Nakata, Murakami’s signature style is something to be admired at. The book not only touches upon the subject of death but brings surreal and fantastical concepts to life. With a prophecy in Kafka’s hands and a goal to restore order in Nakata’s, it is poignantly interesting to see how these characters and their actions have a compelling effect on those they are surrounded by.
