This is beautiful. Leslie Marmon Silko writes this novel in a liteary version of an oral tradition ... a tale passed down by elders around a fire or meal ... it's lovely, and painful. ]]> <![CDATA[Julie added 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58826196 to: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (Paperback) by Haruki Murakami
