Kazuo Ishiguro - The Buried Giant

Something a bit different from Ishiguro - a sort of quest-fable-fantasy-allegory set in immediately post-Arthurian Britain (an aged Sir Gawain is a significant character). It's all very misty, in every sense, but it works in its opaque, meditative fashion. Not as good as the others of his that I've read, but cut from the same cloth despite its very different setting.
