Mallori Reed _allori — LOVE! so much glorious wordplay.

Jonathan Heimer jonathanhe325e — Magical! A beautiful weave of metaphysical, philosophy, and wonderful characters that are both 'global' and 'Japanese'. Oedipal theory put to music, Hegelian subject given a body, Beethoven symphonies come to life. Murakami is obviously someone who thought deeply and originally about his world and theories he comes in contact with. Much like Kafka and Nakata and many of those they meet including some of the kitties. This was one of those books that totally engulfed me. It was a trial having to put it down to go to work or sleep or feed the cats. This is the first Murakami book that I've read so I'm not familiar with his themes but I would love to know something about his biography. ^spoilers^ I obviously wrote the above review shortly after finishing the book! I have had time to think about it and attempt to describe it to others and I realised in the process that reading this book was very much like dreaming. Like a dream, the book has its own internal logic which makes perfect sense from within its pages. Yet, from without it appears very strange indeed and Murukami left many threads untied. I have some questions: firstly, was the father 'johnny walker' or did Johnny Walker appropriate Kafka's father's body to serve the purpose of being murdered? I certainly didn't get that impression, but then, according to the description of 'it' as 'nothing' having no presence and unable to touch or lift anything (when 'it' was Colonial Sanders), if Kafka's father was 'it' then how did Ms. Saike get pregnant etc? I forget the name of the girl he met on the bus, but though he imagined that she could be his sister, it appeared that she wasn't (by her own family history). Which raises my next question: What did Ms. Saike do with Kafka's sister? She took her away with her 11 years before but there doesn't seem to be any explanation for what happened to her after that. Why did Nakata loose his ability to speak to cats after killing Johnny Walker? And, why did Mr. Horoshino gain this ability once Mr. Nakata died? One last point: I speculated, when the school teacher admitted in the letter that Nakata had found her bloody towels, that the 'trigger' for hypnotising the children was blood. The pattern of blood recurs quite often - when Johnny Walker dies (and kills the cats), when Ms. Saike sticks her hairpin in her arm and Kafka sucks on it. Judging by the two solders who managed to 'enter' that half way zone, obviously somehow the entrance stone had been opened about the same time as Nakata went into his coma. Ms. Saike opened the stone perhaps 15 or 20 years after that. The stone glowed red when 'it' was crawling towards it. So was blood and perhaps sacrifice the key element in the entrance stone's operation? Also the teacher describes her dream of the night before, and considering Kafka's 'rape' of his 'sister', perhaps the event initially described was not as random it seemed.
