Very strange book to explain, but it's basically set in modern-day Japan and follows the interweaving stories of the old and new generations there, the pre- and post-American Intervention eras. It's centered on a runaway boy who goes by Kafka and his escape from an omen (trying not to give away what it is). I read it last year in high school; an odd and graphic read, both sexually and violently, but an interesting take on fairly taboo subject matter (which its author, Haruki Murakami, gave 0 f@$ks about). Sorry to hijack but the lit nerd in me took over!
