Thanks I was just curious since I didn't find anything about a link to Franz Kafka in the (brief) searches I did. I thought that at first too and spent a little time looking. There may be one but it isn't clear to me that there is. One of the things I read made me think this was a translation issue, a name being anglicized in translation.

Maybe someone who has read it can chime in (or wait if it ends up being selected for the club.)

Also, I can certainly see Murakami not being for everyone too so wasn't sure if that was the reason.
