review 1: Very interesting and unusual, but I'm not sure about the ending. This book could very well be a Japanese movie or drama. (Yes, I know, it's written by a Frenchman.) This could perhaps have gotten a higher rating if I had bothered to look up all the words I didn't understand (read it in French), but I felt like I could follow the story well enough anyway. That is, I found the book interesting but not terribly captivating.
review 2: Nagasaki is a quiet book written in such beautiful prose. The simplicity of the story allows for an incredible insight into human loneliness that reaches straight to the reader's heart. Faye explores the ambiguities and sadnesses of life through the alienation of the characters from the modern world, while simultaneously alienating th... moree reader from the story using several narrative voices. A clever and moving novella. less
