Regardless of which decade you grew up in, there\u2019s a large chance you came across <\/strong>Shel Silverstein<\/strong> and his inimitable style sometime during your childhood or pre-adolescent years. A jack of all trades, Silverstein was a poet, singer, songwriter, cartoonist, and an author of children\u2019s books to boot. His poetry collections \u201ccaptured the innocence of a child\u2019s imagination \u2026 without talking down to kids or being trite and sentimental,\u201d as one Silverstein fan puts it<\/a>. A Light in the Attic<\/a> was released in 1981, but the book of poems \u2014 much like Silverstein\u2019s other works, like The Giving Tree<\/a> (1964) and Where The Sidewalk Ends<\/a> (1974) \u2014 is timeless.<\/p>\n

\u2026Much like basically everything children\u2019s book wizard Roald Dahl has ever written. Dahl <\/strong>dominated the decade with the release of three of his most famous children\u2019s books<\/strong>: The BFG<\/a> (1982), The Witches<\/a> (1983), and Matilda<\/a> (1988), all of which featured the appropriately childlike illustrations of Quentin Blake.<\/p>\n

The 80s also saw landmark works from Latin American authors<\/strong>, including Gabriel Garc\u00eda Marquez\u2019s timeless Love in the Time of Cholera<\/a>, and Isabel Allende\u2019s debut novel, The House of the Spirits<\/a>. Both Garc\u00eda Marquez and Allende were heavily influenced by the political upheaval in their native countries of Colombia and Chile, respectively. \u201cGarc\u00eda Marquez and a plethora of other gifted Latin writers exposed the savagery and wretchedness of rural poverty<\/strong> in their novels. We also learned to recognise the murderous brutality of military strongmen and the futility of civil war through his words,\u201d the BBC<\/a>\u2019s Wyre Davies wrote of the Colombian literary genius after his passing in 2014.<\/p>\n

Another timeless piece from the 1980s is Franco-Czech author Milan Kundera\u2019s <\/strong>The <\/strong>Unbearable Lightness of Being<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>When he wrote this novel in 1984, the exiled Czech intellect<\/a> and former communist<\/a> party member was living in Paris, after having been stripped of his original nationality and naturalized as a citizen of France, where he still lives today. Set against a backdrop of war in 1968 Prague<\/strong> \u2014 around the time of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and the country\u2019s descent into communism, the book explores the web of complex relationships<\/strong> between Tomas the surgeon and his lover Sabina, whose \u201clightness\u201d about all things life-related and unapologetic affair proves \u201cunbearable\u201d for Tomas\u2019 wife Tereza the photographer and Sabina\u2019s lover Franz the professor. Ever the philosopher, <\/strong>Kundera uses the stories of those characters to explore concepts such as Friedrich Nietzsche's eternal recurrence<\/a> and themes like infidelity, attachment, belonging, purpose, and hedonism. For lovers of Russian literature, <\/strong>the influence of Leo Tolstoy on the novel is hard to miss and Kundera\u2019s experiments with tone and perspective also break from the classical mould to channel something closer to the prose style of Vladimir Nabokov, but at a much slower, less-confrontational, and almost dream-like pace. If you\u2019re more a movie buff than a bookworm,<\/strong> check out the 1988 film adaptation starring Daniel Day Lewis, Juliette Binoche, and Lena Olin (watch the trailer<\/a>, runtime 1:05).<\/p>\n

An equally powerful master of dreamy prose is Japanese wordsmith Haruki Murakami, <\/strong>who wrote one of his greatest and most widely recognized novels, Norwegian Wood, <\/strong><\/a>in 1987. The book \u2014 which is titled after a Beatles song of the same name \u2014 is arguably Murakami\u2019s <\/strong>most autobiographical<\/strong><\/a> work <\/strong>and follows the life of Toru Watanabe as a college student in 1960\u2019s Tokyo and his love for his troubled childhood friend Naoko, who slowly slips away from him and into her own world of depression and confusion following the suicide of their best friend Kizuki. While he remains faithful to Naoko after she leaves to live in a mental institute, Toru \u2014 a quiet and solitary character by nature \u2014 finds himself falling for another woman, whose fierce and outgoing nature stands in sharp contrast to Naoko\u2019s own. Toru is then torn between the innocence and relentlessness of young love and the harshness of the reality that forces one to grow up and move on. A lover of music and subtle melancholy, <\/strong>\u201cMurakami\u2019s characters are always given the seed of rebirth, although it is often unclear whether they plant it or not,\u201d Damie G Walter writes for The Guardian<\/a>. What makes this one author\u2019s stories so great is his ability to journey with his readers down \u201cthe cold, dark winter woods of death and grief and abuse - and do so with wisdom and warmth.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

1989 was a definitive one for Chinese-American business writer-turned-fiction author <\/strong>Amy Tan<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>who for many years before had struggled with the idea of writing her own stories and experiences as a member of an immigrant family in the United States. Tan was approaching the end of her thirties when she finally sat down to compose her debut book <\/strong>The Joy Luck Club<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> where she threads together 16 short narratives that trail the lives of four Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-born daughters during different stages of their lives, focusing on themes such as immigrant identity and the ensuing disconnect and clash between cultures and generations. The book, which draws a lot from the author\u2019s own life experiences <\/strong>and contentious relationship with her mother<\/a>, also pays tribute to the importance of storytelling in keeping heritage and tradition alive through generations, for the stories remain even if nothing else does. \u201cThe author leavens this angst with Marx Brothers humor, making you laugh, literally, even as you cry,\u201d a 1989 review of the book from the Los Angeles Times said. This one is definitely high up on our list of recommendations for a light, yet profound, read. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
