Thaddeus, what do you think of the writing of Haruki Murakami? His style, while naturally influenced by centuries of Japanese norms, has a unique style and story-telling it's hard to find elsewhere.
I first heard of Murukami from my doctor in New York. He was a great guy and we both loved to read. He recommended KAFKA ON THE SHOTE, and I was off and running. I think that 1Q84 is my favorite. As you say, "one of the greats."
Another interesting writer is Olga Tokarczuk the author of DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD.

Although I've used Norwegian Wood as an example in this series, the only book I'm really familiar with is 1Q84. But he's one of the greats of our age.
