«Kafka a la platja» is the novel by Haruki Murakami, published by Editorial Empúries in paperback (480 pages, in Catalan).
Kafka Tamura, a young student, flees his home and settles in Takamatsu, where he takes refuge in a private library to educate himself. The elderly Nakata, who talks to cats and bears the scars of a childhood accident, sees his peaceful life disrupted. Their stories converge in a tragicomedy with Murakami's poetic prose.
