The mythic motifs also remain frustratingly shady. The wartime X-File is revisited only once, the UFO is never explained, and the spectral village between the worlds serves little discernible function, beyond being a place for Kafka to escape to and then a place to escape from. There were, as David Mitchell elegantly summarises, a lot of unanswered questions:
The nearer I got to the end, the further I felt from grasping anything of any real weight. I’ve now finished Kafka On The Shore - but I don’t feel as if I’ve got much closer to getting to grips with it than last week.
