now with a new introduction by the author 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

turned upside down. As their parallel odysseys unravel cats converse with people fish tumble
from the sky a ghost-like pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night a forest harbours
soldiers apparently un-aged since World War II. There is a savage killing but the identity of
both victim and killer is a riddle - one of many which combine to create an elegant and
dreamlike masterpiece. 'Wonderful... Magical and outlandish' Daily Mail 'Hypnotic
