Kafka Tamura se va de casa el día en que cumple quince años. Los motivos, si es que los hay, son las malas relaciones con su padre un famoso escultor convencido de que su hijo repetirá el aciago sino del Edipo de la tragedia clásica y la sensación de vacío producida por la ausencia de su madre y su hermana, que se marcharon también cuando él era muy pequeño. Sus pasos le llevarán al sur del país, a Takamatsu, donde encontrará refugio en una peculiar biblioteca y conocerá a la misteriosa señora Saeki. Si sobre la vida de Kafka se cierne la tragedia (en el sentido clásico), sobre la de Satoru Nakata ya se ha abatido: de niño, durante la segunda guerra mundial, sufrió un extraño accidente del que salió con secuelas, sumido en una especie de olvido de sí, con dificultades para comunicarse... salvo con los gatos. A los sesenta años abandona Tokio y emprende un viaje que le conducirá también a la biblioteca de Takamatsu.
