No one mentions Haruki Murakami?
The Wind-up Bird Chronicle is as close to perfect as it gets (granted it came out in '97).
I'm a Murakami fan as well, although he doesn't seem particularly well-known outside of Japan. Maybe time will change that?Originally Posted by Radio
I read some Murakami just because his work was compared to my boyfirend's. Eh. His novels are just too... Emo for me. I like his prose okay though.

His short stories are fun little reads. I tried to read Norwegian Wood, but it did end up far too self-pitying to keep my interest going. His works mostly appeal to the young adult market anyway, which I fear I was always too old for to really get into.
