That sounds like a good choice for me that I'll note down for when I return to Fantasy. I haven't read anything in the genre since GRRM when it came out. I've been mostly catching up on Asian literature in the second of 2011 (no Fantasy in the lot so far, most of what's available in the genre in translation is in manga form only, but there's a great deal of the novels I've read that falls loosely or more specifically under "magical realism".

I'm tempted to suggest back one of those (Yumeno's Dogra Magra, an early century very Jung-esque pseudo-noir that drew comparisons to Kafka and Borgès) but I doubt I'll make up my mind whether it's really great or just plain too bizarre and hard to read until I'm done (perhaps that's just because at the moment I'm stuck in the middle of a 100 pages passage, that's a transcription of the theory on psychiatric treatments by one of the doctors in the story, written in the form of a raving sermon by an itinerant buddhist "mad monk" (and the theory itself revolves around inherited ancestral memories)! It doesn't help get through it that I've seen it's followed by 75 pages of another fictitious essay, this time by schizophrenic patient and about the brain not being the real seat of thought). The "are we there yet" crowd would really go mad with this one. In 300 pages, the character has woken up with amnesia, been bathed, visited another insane patient convinced she was the main character's bride 1000 years ago, and spent a few more hours sitting in the office of the head of the psychiatry departement, where beside hearing hints about his recent past and identity (which the doctors want him to remember on his own) he's so far read three essays. It's supposed to start really messing with the reader's mind around the half mark (of the 1000 pages novel). It's apparently a masterpiece of meta-fiction and unreliable narrative.

For a bit of lighter reading I've started on a "literary" manga series that's a transposition of Crime and Punishments, but it's too early to pass judgement on it (except so far, it's interesting).
