Canal Dreams, Iain Banks
Iain Banks is a masterful storyteller. I continue to be impressed with his range. Canal Dreams is the story of a Japanese cellist who is travelling through the Panama Canal and gets caught in the crossfire of revolution. The hallucinatory dream sequences tell you other stories from her life, and are spliced throughout the daily-unfolding story of the revolution. Gritty and sad, but still a good read. Reminded me a bit of Haruki Murakami's work, at times.
