We need more about clearly seeing fascism coming, not refusing to do so.

(but I did like Remains and am pleased Ichiguro won and not Murakami)

In the oblique way the Academy can be political in its Nobel choices, Remains of the Day is deeply about refusing to see fascism coming. Not to mention love.



And The Unconsoled is the only Kafka-inspired book that I've read---not that many though, so refute me--that goes deeper, maybe, that is, to the full human psychological effects of the modern age. Along with Pynchon, of course.
