SF REVIEWS.NET | SF and Fantasy Book Reviews Read 12 Stories By Haruki Murakami Free Online Image by wakarimasita, via Wikimedia Commons In her New York Times review of Haruki Murakami’s latest, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, Patti Smith writes that the novelist has two modes, “the surreal, intra-dimensional side” and the “more minimalist, realist side.” These two Murakamis often coexist within the same work of fiction, as the fantastic or the supernatural invades the real, or the other way around. Like one of his literary heroes, Franz Kafka, Murakami’s work doesn’t so much create alternate realities as it alters reality, with all its mundane details and humdrum daily routines. In Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki Murakami works this same magic, as you can see in this excerpt published in Slate last month. Murakami finds readers across this broad spectrum for many reasons; his prose is accessible even when his narratives are baffling. “Kino” (February 23, 2015) “A Walk to Kobe” (August 6, 2013)

Spiral Galaxy Reviewing Laboratory The Singer of Tales - The Center for Hellenic Studies Great Science-Fiction & Fantasy Works: Overlooked Gems Great Science-Fiction& Fantasy Works science-fiction & fantasy literature:a critical list with discussions "He went to a high glazed bookcase full of vellum-backed volumes; from where he stood Prospero could read titles like Aristotelis Opera and Mysterium Cosmographicum. Standing on a cane-bottomed chair, the man lifted down from the top of the case a huge untitled volume with the Seal of Solomon stamped on the side." --The Face in the Frost, John Bellairs What Is "Overlooked"? This page gives me more conceptual trouble than most of the rest of this site put together. Another issue is the sad fact that of the books, and even just the authors, listed on this site, very few are likely to be known to the general public--even the literate, book-reading public; and not so many more will be known even to those who regularly ingest science fiction and fantasy books. How and why does a book of merit come to be overlooked? So here is my latest attempt at this list. Gems You May Be Missing
