The Stone Giant - Kazuo Ishiguro

Such a strange book.  Set in England  in the period after the Romans have left England, and everything has fallen apart.  Almost like a bizarre venture into the fantasy-historic genre.  King Arthur is mentioned; Sir Gawain in his old, rusty age appears; there is a dragon; the language is a bit stilted and fake.  Couldn't finish it.
I wonder where that book came from...  So unlike the rest of his work.
