Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

Kafka on the Shore is characteristically engaging in its humor and surrealism - true to form for Haruki Murakami. The novel is powered by two remarkable characters: a teenage boy, Kafka Tamura, who runs away from home either to escape an oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister; and an aging simpleton called Nakata, who is drawn toward Kafka for reasons that, like the most basic activities of daily life, he cannot fathom.
