Normandie

We'll be going to Argentan in Normandie at the end of this month. That's because my sister Valeria is getting married with Gui. Atually, they first make a party, and then they'll get married (it's a creative pair on averything).




So I've been looking for a good guide to the region; well, couldn't find one. What i mean by a guide is more or less a "poetic introduction to the region", of the sort of this guide to Venice. There are uncountably many guides, all made of meaningless sequences of names and numbers. What's the points of those?

Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: again Murakami

Ok, Murakami and Japan again. Total identification in the book, again. He is a genious.

"...frequently meandering, occasionally baffling, repetitive or overwritten; but for sheer scale and mental muscle, it may be regarded as a masterpiece."

"... This is the kind of writer Mr. Murakami is: a writer with a sense for the simple and the surreal, and one with a gift for putting these two things together."

Maybe you have enough of Japan now?
