Norweigan Wood

Finished this book yesterday.
I really enjoyed it. The prose-even in translation-is effortless and captures the dilemmas and heartache faced in love, and the finality that death brings and doesn't bring as well as anything I have read.
Like any modern novel it ends with so many questions. It is a book I will be churning around for weeks to come. 9/10

This is one of my favourite Brel songs. The above site is great in that it has many lyrics to Brel songs.

There are a number of things this world needs including
1. A good english biography of Brel and
2. A book of lyrics with English translation

or maybe I just need to improve my French!
