Follow the entwined destinies of Kafka and Nakata in Haruki Murakami’s mind-bending novel “Kafka on the Shore.”

Desperate to escape his tyrannical father and the family curse he feels doomed to repeat, Haruki Murakami’s teenage protagonist renames himself “Kafka” after his favorite author and runs away from home. So begins “Kafka on the Shore”— an epic literary puzzle filled with time travel, hidden histories and magical underworlds. Iseult Gillespie dives into Murakami’s mind-bending and whimsical novel.

  1. I've added it to tbr list. I'm currently trying to read 1Q84 also by Murakami. So, it might be a while before I give kafka on the shore a read. Thanks for the recommendation.

  2. This is the best book I've ever read. It's so sad to notice how Murakami's works are criticised just because of their surrealism. In my opinion, surrealism is what makes Murakami different from other writers: it puts you in a position in which you HAVE to think to actually understand.
    I also loved it for its multiple metaphorical interpretations

  3. Just finished this book 5 minutes ago.I learned a lot from it!! Also i'm in love with Hoshino :'D

  4. I watched this video 3 years ago, kept the name somewhere on my phone to read it later, forgot about it. Then a year ago my mum gave it to me, to read on a hike, and it very quickly became my favourite book. I just stumbled upon the note that read "ted ed : why you should read Kafka on the shore" and it was somehow mind blowing to me that I'd heard of it before it very discreetly but surely changed my life

  5. I loved this book and hate to have to raise an issue with this video, but it strikes me as odd that this animation depicts Kafka Tamura as a visually white-featured man. I understand it could be stylistic choice, but I think that a video as influential and educational as this should include the accurate Japanese representation in the art, rather than whitewashing Kafka's character with a Eurocentric appearance. Murakami already takes and incorporates many Western features into his books, including the main character's name and characters like Johnnie Walker and Colonel Sanders. Thanks!

  6. I was so excited to read this for so long after this video. I even read Kafka first to grip what this book was about, but after reading it…it was a huge mess, through and through. Nothing makes sense, things go back and forth many times, most characters including the protagonist are uninteresting. The story is 500 pages of absolutely nothing, there's nothing ever really in the line, it's just a story about nothing. Important characters die and nothing comes out of it, they act as though nothing really happened. Kafka runs from the police for more than half the book just to decide to turn himself in at the end?.He runs from the prophecy just to go ahead and do everything in his power for it to happen, and when it does, he just goes like "whatever", like, what was the prophecy about in the story then?, Just a silly reason for him to leave his house?

    You keep thinking about it wondering if you missed something and trying your best to connect dots and get absolutely nowhere, so you think the problem is you and go online to see if you can get someone to give some meaning to this book, and to your surprise everybody is as confused as you are. Then you do the last thing you can to try and give this book justice and tries to find what the author has to say about it. And Murakami just hits you with "I just wrote what came to mind". If I can describe the whole experience is this: It just feels like you got scammed after reading it.

    One thing I can give to this book was that it's the most vivid I've read so far, it really challenges the imagination….And that's it. Do I think it saves the book?, Absolutely not, I've read economic and political books more interesting than this one.

  7. it was the first book I was able to concentrate on and actually read after my mom died and my first love broke up with me. needless to say, i didn’t want to live anymore.
    though, with the help of friends, my own strength, and this very special book, i was finally able to start living with this grief instead of letting it demolish me completely

    sometimes the only thing you can do is watch the things fall apart, and this book feels like a friend who’s here to sit and watch it with you, which is actually really comforting

  8. Saw half the video, read the book complete, now i know people have imaginations, feelings, experiences paralleling mine, thank you for this amazing recommendation

  9. I BOUGHT IT 2 MONTHS AGO BUT I DIDNT HAVE CHANCE TO READ IT DUE TO MY EXAMS AND FINALS NOW FINALY ITS TIME TO READ MY LOVLEY BOOK

  10. I just finished the book and I didn’t know how to gloss it. It's complex to read but I can certainly say that it's worth reading.

  11. after watching this video the first time, i went straight to my library to borrow the book.
    now i'm back here after completing the book, and god was that a journey. 489 pages of murakami's absolute mind-bending writing was something i wish i could experience for the first time again. i've realized that it's okay to be confused throughout the whole book, because in the end all the confusion pretty much ties itself together; each character has endearing traits, whether it's their style of speaking or attachment to one another. a truly enlightening read, i bid farewell to the boy named crow.

  12. I have read around seven of his books and I liked most but this one was actually horrible. The guys just sets up some story which at first sounds interesting, but then he comes with all sorts of random stuff and with this ghost which is a deus ex machina in the flesh and nothing made sense, it was just some guy writing down the first thing that he could come up with.

  13. Is there any information about the Japanese man who appears on the cover of this version of this book.. his name or aby thing ? The man with sunglasses

  14. What a great book! Kafka on the Shore manages to send across multiple messages in such a beautiful way. How our past can sometimes bind or constrain us from truly living a free and joyful life, how sometimes we can't run away from the seemingly insurmountable challenges in our life, etc. Definitely a must-read!

  15. "LEECHES ARE FALLING FROM THE SKY! Ruler help us!"

    Me: n o p e

    (proceeds to allow my people to die)

  16. Can anyone suggest a book like this. I loved this so much that all I want now is to read something close to this.

  17. TED is doing some really great videos that deserve more views than they generally get. But someone should tell you guys who write the scripting for the videos that your script sounds like they're copied from some dull books. The topics are interesting in themselves which could also sound interesting if they were written in conversational style. Sentences are so damn big that it's hard to remember what the dude talked about at the start of his sentence by the time he ends it. Wonder how smart folks like you could miss that major point.

  18. I was excited to read this book. The initial part was quite engaging. However, towards the middle part thru to end it became harder to read as women characters are presented in an unnerving manner.

  19. "when you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in."
    Yeah of course, cause you are now a dead meat.

  20. I'll always be astonished by this book, magical and sensitive, my favorite for all the time.
