Wonderful Idea

....and wonderful job, Bill! This will be a wonderful place for us to express any after-thoughts or to say the things we may have run out of time to say at our gatherings. Thank you for doing this for us!

Haruki Murakami

While on sabbatical I discovered the works of Japanese author, Haruki Murakami. I started with Kafka on the Shore which I enjoyed so much that I searched for more of his work. This week I read After Dark, published in Japan in 2004, and in English in 2007. It takes place between midnight and dawn one day. True to Murakami's style, magic realism plays a role (along with a cat, always a cat somewhere), as well as the themes of isolation. That may not be enough description to make you want to read it, but you might try a few chapters and to see if you find his style intriguing.
