I agree, he definitely has his own approach to story writing, he kind of softly defies genre conventions and I'm very here for it. Emotional-driven stories is a great way to describe it, I read Never Let Me Go quite a long time ago and although I'm a bit foggy now on the plot the feeling of it has definitely stuck around.

I just finished up reading the Buried Giant and I'm in love with it's minimal take on the fantasy genre. Never read a thing like it and I've been recommending it to friends left and right. I know it will really stick with me and I plan to reread it in a few years, maybe buy my own copy instead of taking it out from the library again.

As for Klara and the Sun, read that just before the new year and it was interesting and lightly disturbing if that makes any sense, this time the minimal writing style lended itself well to Klara's perspective. I wouldn't say it's a favourite though.

I adore this, beautiful light on the fabric. r/halloween would love it.
