A moving reflection on the author's father--plus a cat!--this is a beautiful short work of family history from one of our most beloved, iconic writers. Originally published in the New Yorker in 2019, and now presented in a full, unabridged form, Abandoning a Cat is a poignant, self-reflective work by Haruki Murakami. Here he writes about his father, the son of a priest who might have become a priest himself had a clerical error not sent him into the second world war. Murakami's father wrote accomplished haiku and eventually became a teacher. As Haruki grew older -- as he became an adult and then a writer, he and his father found they had little in common. They were later estranged for twenty years, only reconciling on his father's deathbed. This haunting personal essay is a reflection on what it means to be a father and what it means to be a son -- on what it means to be loved and to be abandoned -- and also on a particular moment of Japanese history, through the aftermath of the secon

本書以多巴哥島小鎮為舞台，描寫少年在日常與貧困中成長，外來家庭的出現帶來短暫的光亮，也掀開階級、金錢與責任的現實界線。Oonya Kempadoo以節制而詩性的文字，寫出欲望如何遮蔽差異，又如何讓不平等無所遁形。Cliff and Ossi have grown up in Plymouth on the island of Tobago, their lives turning on the axis of small-town life. One day they watch the arrival of a couple and their child at a luxurious house overlooking the ocean. The couple invites Cliff into their home and lives, and in that cool “flim-style” house, the harsh, brittle life of urban Plymouth is kept briefly at bay, desires obscuring differences in class and race. But then things begin to go wrong—money vanishes, the couple’s car disappears—and those differences are brought suddenly to light, raising unsettling questions about relationships, wealth, and responsibility.“Oonya Kempadoo’s Tide Running is effective, beautiful, and haunting . . . and pulses with a distinctive Caribbean rhythm.” —Glenville Lovell, Washington Post“With a finely tuned ear for the cadences of the Caribbean . . .. Kempadoo succeeds in turning an unset
