i think miss saeki is not kafka's mother, i think kafka is confused as to his identity and purposely constructs an imaginary world where characters are roped in to tie in with his theory. The Oepidian legacy is just too convenient for all the weird happenings and I think Murakami did not finish the story as I would have liked. It's one thing to be abstract and another totally different matter to be obscure and self-referential. Clean up your mess next time, Mr Murakami.
