Kafka on the Shore unisex book cover t-shirt: This original line of t-shirts by Out of Print is a celebration of all things Haruki Murakami, based on book covers by his longtime designers, Chip Kidd and John Gall.
Kafka on the Shore is powered by two remarkable characters: a teenage boy, Kafka Tamura, who runs away from home either to escape a gruesome oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister; and an aging simpleton called Nakata, who never recovered from a wartime affliction and now is drawn toward Kafka for reasons that, like the most basic activities of daily life, he cannot fathom.
