Just finished reading Murakami's "Wild Sheep Chase" which was almost boring through the way and blew my mind away at the last 50 pages. A master of slow, detailed story-telling, providing the most vivid emotions through stingy dry words, not to little, not too much of them, just the necessary amount of what needs to be said.
Even though the "Wind-up bird chronicles" kept me awake for a week or so, this one had a breath-taking twist that cannot be ignored.
Educative and real, bringing parts of Japan history and life is mixed with surreal mystery that makes you wonder how real are you and your life. At some parts of the book real and surreal become almost integral parts of each other and bring a ticklish wondering to everyday life.
Next is Mario Vergas Lhosa - The Notebooks, for change of style and language. Then Banana Yoshimoto and the new Chuck Pallanuik. Cosmos in between to keep it down to earth and up to date.
p.s.
is "dance" my sheep? is "new and unexplored" my sheep? is "passion"?
