So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn’t get in, and walk through it, step by step.Īnd once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. Why? Because this storm isn’t something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you.
Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. It’s in this exploration of life that we can find valuable lessons. Murakami uses aspects of magical realism in order to explore concepts such as fate and past trauma. The narrative follows two central characters, Kafka and Nakata, as they interact with other humans, cats, spirits, and even figures like Colonel Sanders and Johnnie Walker.
Kafka On The Shore is a novel by Haruki Murakami.
