Patch ZircherLatest read, The Second Bakery Attack (1986) by Haruki Murakami from The Elephant Vanishes; a couple awaken with an insane hunger and decide to steal from a bakery.
The wife is the force behind this robbery (replicating a robbery committed by her husband when he was a teen)-- and it might be surmised she is attempting to reawaken a free spirit in him.
Surreal; realistic, metaphorical, considered, & ridiculous.
Terrific.
