Quite ok

A bit like having not-your-favourite wine for dinner; you don't enjoy every sip but you don't throw away the wine, either.
(1) Hisaye Yamamoto: Seventeen Syllables and Other Stories. Japanese second generation immigrants in the U.S. Realistic and interesting deciptions of the internment camps, among other things. Ms. Yamamoto writes well but has sometimes "lapses", sentences so long that one loses the track where something refers to.
(2) Rupert Thomson: The Insult. Mr. Blom lost his eyesight after a shooting accident.. or did he? The starting point oft he novel is really interesting but it quite does not hold its grip.
(3) Michael Ondaatje: In the Skin of a Lion. Coroners examining skeletons in Sri Lanka after the civil war. Ondaatje's style is most abstemious, sometimes almost barren.
(4) Coetzee: Foe. Maybe in the 80's discussions about "X in reality vs. X in print" felt more relevant, but now they are a bit tiring. Luckily, Coetzee's Disgrace was much more enjoyable. It took me some time to realize that the female lead of Foe owes a lot to Moll Flanders.
