” No!” is the first word of Imre Kertesz`s haunting novel, Kaddish for an Unborn Child. It is how the novel`s narrator, a middle-aged Hungarian-Jewish writer, answers an acquaintance who asks him if he has a child, & it is how he answered his wife years earlier when she told him that she wanted one. The loss, longing & regret that haunt the years between these two ” No!”s give rise to one of the most eloquent meditations ever written on the Holocaust. As Kertesz`s narrator addresses the child he couldn`t bear to bring into the world, he takes readers on a mesmerising, lyrical journey through his life, from his childhood to Auschwitz to his failed marriage. ...

Kafka on the Shore follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father`s dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices & mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; a ghostlike pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim & killer is a riddle. Murakami`s novel is at once a classic quest, but it is also a bold exploration of mythic & contemporary taboos, of patricide, of mother-love, of sister-love. Above all it is a bewitching & wildly inventive novel from a master stylist. ...
