Review:
'Even more dazzling than GHOSTWRITTEN' -- Matt Thorne, Independent on Sunday 'I haven't enjoyed a novel so much in ages; wild, bristling with strangeness' -- Independent Books of the Year '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 'Resounds to the same marvellous chatter of voices that marked out GHOSTWRITTEN, his outstanding first novel' -- Observer 'Spellbinding' -- Boyd Tonkin, Independent Books of the Year 'A delirious mix of thriller, tragedy, fantasy, video games and a portrait of uneasy modern Japan ... A deserving Booker nominee.' -- Guardian 'Wildly inventive' -- Sunday Times 'Captures aspects of modern Japan with a compelling authenticity and beauty' -- Daily Telegraph
