«Een kat achterlaten: herinneringen aan mijn vader» is the autobiographical account by Haruki Murakami, published by Atlas Contact in hardback (53 pages).
In this autobiographical account, Murakami recovers trivial memories, such as the day a kitten was left on the coast, to explore his relationship with his father. His father's stories about his military service in China left a mark on him, and only after more than twenty years of estrangement, shortly before his father's death, could the bond be restored.
The work was originally published in Japanese in 2019; this Dutch edition features a translation by Elbrich Fennema and illustrations by Marion Vrijburg.
It will appeal to readers of Haruki Murakami and to those who appreciate personal memory as a literary theme.
