What to expect
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2001
The second novel from the critically-acclaimed author of GHOSTWRITTEN and CLOUD ATLAS.
As Eiji Miyake's twentieth birthday nears, he arrives in Tokyo with a mission - to locate the father he has never met. So begins a search that takes him into the seething city's underworld, its lost property offices and video arcades, and on a journey that zigzags from reality to the realm of dreams. But until Eiji has fallen in love and exorcised his childhood demons, the belonging he craves will remain, tantalizingly, just beyond his grasp.
(P)2020 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
Critics Review
-
Dazzling
Independent on Sunday -
A delirious mix of thriller, tragedy, fantasy, video games and a portrait of uneasy modern Japan
Guardian -
Wildly inventive
Sunday Times -
An extraordinary literary cabaret of dreams, visions and pastiches, from video-game rides and gangster rumbles to suicide submariners. Endlessly ingenious and hugely enjoyable – but oddly moving as well. A rich showcase for 21st-century fiction
Independent -
Exceptional . . . More than a surreal detective story or coming-of-age novel, more than a portrait of Tokyo or stream of adolescent consciousness, it is unique: clever, unusual, gripping and beautifully written
Literary Review -
I haven’t enjoyed a novel so much in ages; wild, bristling with strangeness
