...French, German and English: a fun sleaze, a purposeful blow-up of our conceptions of Euro-trash culture. “I am Naked,” the album’s lead single, is a prime example, as German singer Brezel Goring prattles on in kitty-cat vocals at a second-grade register about the virtues of nudity. The bad translations (and the frequent intrusion of a gruff gravelly-voiced “rapper”) can’t help but bring to mind the debt the band owes to Björk’s Icelandic...
...dozens of zillions, katrillions" of imaginary animals. Quinn's mother Kate says Quinn uses Elfie-Welfie to play out some very real desires. In Elfie-Welfie's world, Quinn was allowed on the rides at the fair. (In real life, Quinn was too small.) Elfie-Welfie had an orange cat named Stripey. (Quinn desperately wanted a pet.) Elfie-Welfie promised she would give Quinn a little brother or sister. (Quinn is an only child.) "[Elfie-Welfie] was my reality check," says Kate.

Fans of Murakami will find...

"What I wanted to do is use humor and irony to explore the daily lives of religious folk," says Sfar, "which is a change from the rather...
...Kafka lacks the narrative consistency of Norwegian Wood and the noirish menace of his 1989 classic A Wild Sheep Chase. But what a tale! You never know when the cats will talk, the sky will rain sardines or yet another show-stopping character will step forward. In a Web poll of Japanese readers, most respondents said that if Kafka were dramatized, they would want to play Oshima, the librarian's impressively literate, transsexual assistant. Others preferred Hoshino, the earthy truck driver who helps the cat-talking old man in his quest to find a magic stone that can free...
