Kafka by the sea

Kafka means crow in Czech. Arabs often regard crow as the father of omen, while Japanese regard crow as a spirit bird, and use its voice to predict bad luck. The book mentions "the boy named crow" more than once, which is similar to Tamura's subconscious and reflects the influence of prophecy on Tamura. At the same time, Kafka by the Sea tells the story of a boy of 15 years old, and then predicts that the struggle and resistance in front of him will eventually yield, and discusses the responsibility. This may be one of the main reasons why it is called Kafka by the sea.

Flantz Kafka is an Austrian Jewish absurd writer. The writing style of this book is similar to that of Flantz.

The following is Haruki Murakami's explanation of the origin of the title of Kafka by the Sea:

"The protagonist in Kafka's Book by the Sea is a boy of 15 years old. The first time I came into contact with Kafka's novels was 15 years old, so the protagonist of the story was also called Kafka. In this sense, this book can also be said to pay tribute to Kafka! I read Kafka's Castle when I was 0/5 years old, which became an important starting point of my life. He is my favorite writer. I have read Kafka's works over and over again, and I am fascinated by him. Kafka by the Sea is my compliment to Kafka and a reward. "
