Murakami, Haruki Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New York, Vintage international, 2012.
Description 1157pWhite spine
Summary/Abstract A masterwork. . . . Murakami has crafted what may well become a classic literary rendering of pre-2011 Japan. . . . Orwell wrote his masterpiece to reflect a future dystopia through a Cold War lens. . . . Similarly, Murakami’s 1Q84 captures attitudes and circumstances that characterize Japanese life before the March earthquake-tsunami-nuclear disaster. Reading 1Q84, one can’t help but sense already how things have changed.

Now in exile from his native country, he has taken up residence in a London suburb, where he is writing his memoirs.

Mystic masseur: a novel / Naipaul, V.S. 2002  Book
Naipaul, V.S. Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New York, Vintage international, 2002.
Description 207pLight Blue and Brown Spine
Summary/Abstract Naipaul traces the unlikely career of Ganesh Ramsumair, a failed schoolteacher and impecunious village masseur who in time becomes a revered mystic, a thriving entrepreneur, and the most beloved politician in Trinidad. To understand a little better, one has to realize that in the 1940s masseurs were the island’s medical practitioners of choice. As one character observes, “I know the sort of doctors they have in Trinidad. They think nothing of killing two, three people before breakfast.”

Selected essays of John Berger / Berger, John; Dyer, Geoff(Ed.) 2003  Book
Berger, John Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Vintage international, 2003.
Description xiii, 579pWhite spine
Summary/Abstract This book is a collection of John Berger's most seminal essays. Berger's insights make it impossible to look at a painting, watch a film or even visit a zook in quite the same way again. The vast range of subjects he addresses, the lean beauty of his prose, and the keenness of his anger against injustice move us to view the world with a new lens of awareness.
