I decided to expand my Japanese reading list beyond Murakami and had heard good things about the Nobel Prize winning Kenzaburo Oë. The story is about of a group of delinquent boys abandoned in a mountain village when a plague breaks out. The story was pretty depressing and gruesome, but good. I'd give it 3.5 stars.
