Haruki Murakami: “Town of Cats” At Koenji Station, Tengo boarded the Chuo Line inbound rapid-service train. The car was empty. He had nothing planned that day. At that point, he realized what he had been doing all along. He tried shaking his head a few times, but the idea that had struck him would not go away. Going to see his father was a depressing prospect. The sanatorium stood on a large plot of land by the coast. Tengo paid his check and went to the platform to wait for the Tateyama train. Most people think of Sunday as a day of rest. When Tengo was a boy, his father was a collector of subscription fees for NHK—Japan’s quasi-governmental radio and television network—and, every Sunday, he would take Tengo with him as he went door to door soliciting payment. Tengo’s father had several reasons for taking him along on his rounds. Tengo’s father’s third and final reason was a more calculating one, which was why it had left the deepest scars on his son’s heart.
