I've never read any of his literature, so I may be either really misinformed/clueless but hopefully with some objectivity.
I think that your comment corroborates the Nobel committee's decision: "for the art of memory with which he has evoked the most ungraspable human destinies and uncovered the life-world of the occupation"
Despite what you say about a lacking plot, which you may have exaggerated, you still call him a "fantastic author." Which is either irony or there's something to that.

It's not necessary for a book to have a great plot, to be a great book. I haven't read any of this guy's work, but Murakami has a similar "thing" going on... the plots in his books are often fairly dull and leave a lot of plot-lines unresolved... but yet the books are very enjoyable and thought provoking. It's almost like it's the atmosphere that matters, not the plot itself. Perhaps this author writes something similar?
- keehun 12y agoYes, and as a musician, there are strong and compelling parallel aesthetics. I totally understand it. I would love to check out this author's work now.
