«Kafka a la platja» is Haruki Murakami's contemporary novel, published by labutxaca in paperback (576 pages, in Catalan).
Two stories intertwine: Kafka Tamura, a student who flees home and takes refuge in a library in Takamatsu, and Nakata, an old man able to talk to cats after a childhood accident. Their parallel paths converge in a tragicomedy with a dreamlike atmosphere, with fate and identity as its axes.
Translation by Albert Nolla Cabellos. The work was originally published in 2002 under the title «Umibe no Kafuka».
