Am #reading Honobu Yonezawa's The Samurai and the Prisoner in the English translation. (OK , I'm on page 14, barely past the intro, but) I really like style & prose.
Now, I'm looking forward to discover the plot!

It starts slow and builds up through the many characters' recollections and fantasies and opinions and stories and diaries and letters.
Intriguing more-than-crime novel.
The Aosawa Murders, Riku Onda 8/10
Just finished reading #HowlsMovingCastle
Decided to go with #TheMemoryPolice as my first English Translated #JapaneseNovel by #YokoOgawa
Yamagata Tatsumi and his family were traveling in their car when a wild truck smashed into their car. But wait! The MC wasn’t dead yet, his entire family was though. With his entire family dead and relatives abandoning him, the only one remaining by his side was his pet cockatiel. For a year he lived only with his pet, who had been with him since childhood. But finally, her lifespan reached its end and she died in his arms. #JAPANESENOVEL
