I am still reading Haruki Murakami, this time a collection of short stories entitled
The Elephant Vanashises and I continue to be delighted.
Last night I read
The Dancing Dwarf, a sort of contemporary fairy tale, blending folk tale settings with contemporary attitudes, dreamlike absurdity, and a touch of darkness a la David Lynch. It was such a good read, I had to turn around and read it again, out load to Not Afraid as this was a story that demanded to be told and not just read.
I continue to be amazed by this author and am delighted that he's a contemporary presence on the literary scene. Yeah Harry Potter is waiting, but this writer has possessed me like no other.
It's lawys so great to find an artist who seems to be speaking to you.
