Just read a great book about Japan which has a clue about the relationships within Murakami's Kafka on the Shore.
The book is called Extremes: Contradictions in Contemporary Japan by a guy called G M Thomas.
(So fas I know available in the UK, Japan, France but not the US.)
It's a book about life in Japan, and in it, the real life Johnnie Walker is revealed. (JW supposedly being the father of Kafka.)
Understand the real man and you might see the relationship in a new light.
 
Well, I'm not sure about this supposedly linked booked, but my copy of 'Kafka...' will arrive at the start of next week, can't wait. So far I've read Sheep Chase and Dance, Dance, Dance, I just about prefered WSC, but both left me breathless and sleepless for 3 days whilst I read them.
