Book review: Haruki Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
In The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, author Haruki Murakami claims that we cannot recreate our lives. We can only slowly and deliberately transform them.Book review: Dan Simmons' The Terror
Dan Simmons' The Terror begins the sort of historical fiction / supernatural horror that comes to maturity in Drood.Film review: Tokyo Sonata
As a portrait of post-industrial angst, Tokyo Sonata is perfect to the last detail.Film review: The Hangover
The Hangover is brilliant comedy made poignant because the cultural backdrop against which it plays, to great success, reflects extreme risk aversion.
