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. ...

The Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) is one of the most important 20th century painters & one of the few Latin American artists to have achieved a global reputation. In 1983 her work was declared the property of the Mexican state. Kahlo was one of the daughters of an immigrant German photographer & a Mexican woman of Indian origin. Her life & work were more inextricably interwoven than in almost any other artists case. Two events in her life were of crucial importance. When she was 18 a bus accident put her in hospital for a year with a smashed spinal column & fractured pelvis. It was from her sick bed that she first started to paint. Then aged 21 she married the world-famous Mexican mural artist Diego Rivera. She was to suffer the effects of the accident her whole life long & was particularly pained by her inability to have children. Her arresting pictures most of them small format self-portraits express the burdens that weighed upon her soul: her unbearable physical pain the grief that Riveras occasional affairs prompted the sorrow about her childlessness caused her her homesickness when living abroad & her longing to feel that she had put down roots profound loneliness. However they also declare her passionate love for her husband her pronounced sensuousness & her unwavering survival instinct. ...
