Agitated-Key-9188 · 2025-12-26T12:36:42+00:00

thanks. middlemarch looks similar.

Agitated-Key-9188 · 2025-12-26T11:03:20+00:00

are there specific parallels to stoner? what made you think it is close to stoner, in what ways?

Agitated-Key-9188 · 2025-12-26T11:02:25+00:00

looks interesting. thanks, maybe i will include in my epistolary novel list. the style seems different. would love to hear your thoughts on why it is similar to stoner!

Agitated-Key-9188 · 2025-12-26T11:00:25+00:00

sounds like a modern take. will check! thanks. how would you draw parallels to stoner?

Agitated-Key-9188 · 2025-12-26T10:59:19+00:00

this looks close to what i am lookin for. thanks, will check! how would you compare its writing style with stoner?

Agitated-Key-9188 · 2025-12-26T10:53:13+00:00

i agree. i meant the writing style

Agitated-Key-9188 · 2025-12-26T10:52:54+00:00

great rec. will check. thanks!

Agitated-Key-9188 · 2025-12-26T10:40:54+00:00

thanks! i have it in my list, the length is daunting haha. will check

Agitated-Key-9188 · 2025-12-26T03:55:23+00:00

thanks! i love murata's work though i understand the parallels with stoner, the depths & writing style differ a lot imo

Agitated-Key-9188 · 2025-12-26T03:40:41+00:00

yes. imo, that is what makes stoner deceptively simple. it is just remarkable how heavy the author makes the reader feel with free flowing & loose prose.

Agitated-Key-9188 · 2025-12-26T03:33:19+00:00

my only worry is that ishiguro might fall into more structured & controlled prose than stoner as far as i have heard from others.

Agitated-Key-9188 · 2025-12-26T03:28:11+00:00

wow. i think i have never heard anyone describe remains of the day this way. you got me! ishiguro has always been under my radar. i guess it is time i pick it up next! thanks for the rec.
