Nothing new, nothing revolutionary. Murakami’s depiction of women proves to be incredibly one dimensional and this book certainly fails the Bechdel test. Nakata, the older protagonist, should have been the primary character and the novel would have benefited from losing its titular character, Kafka.
Graphic: Incest and Rape
Moderate: Violence and War
