«Kafka à Beira-Mar» is the magic realism novel by Haruki Murakami, published by Casa das Letras in hardcover (576 pages, in Portuguese).
The novel alternates the stories of Kafka Tamura, a teenager who runs away from home at fifteen, and Nakata, an old man who searches for lost cats. There, cats talk, fish fall from the sky, and a forest hides soldiers who have not aged since World War II; their paths cross in a quest laden with symbols and taboos.
Novel winner of the World Fantasy Award and originally published in 2002 as «Umibe no Kafuka»; this Portuguese edition is from 2023.
For readers of magic realism, literary fantasy and contemporary Japanese fiction, with a story that combines the everyday and the supernatural.
