The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: A Novel by Haruki Murakami

Glad to hear someone else agrees. The other four reviews of Nikolski glow/rave. I think we need to demand more before we praise something so highly. I struggled to finish it simply because I found I didn't particularly care what happened, which is not how a really well-crafted story should be--ah, of course I've spoiled myself on White, Welty, and Woolf lately.

Interesting selection of books! I've enjoyed perusing.

btw - yes I agree regarding 'The Echo Maker' though it might be because I enjoyed the other novel so much, and was expecting that languid style, that Echo Maker disappointed, I'll give it a re-read at some time. So far I haven't read the other two Powers novels in my library.
