Whoops, I'm late! I listened to A Personal Matter by Kenzaburo Oรซ:
>Bird's son is born with a brain hernia. Doctors tell him the baby will not survive & Bird is caught in limbo, waiting for the child to die, terrified it will survive in a vegetative state & change his life forever. He turns to alcohol & an old girlfriend in an attempt to escape. The story is dark, deeply personal & semi autobiographical. Like watching a car crash in slow motion, this is one of those dark, unputdownable "gripping", "utterly compelling" stories. Skip it if you're looking for a cheery read but if you're interested in some exceptional Japanese lit it's superb. Great book, great narration.
Loved it. It was recommended in a post on /r/books by /u/thatbookishgirl & I'm so glad. I'll definitely be reading more books by this author.
I've just picked up Everything is Illuminated by Jonathon Safran Foer & just keep giggling. I had no idea it was going to be so funny!
