Publisher Synopsis
"A hard-boiled, sharply surreal fable about the power of the written word." -William Gibson "Deeply rich in atmosphere and idea, Kawamata's first novel to be translated into English was a bestseller in its native Japan upon its publication in 1984. It deftly establishes the power of the central poems by showing their effects on the emotions, minds, bodies, and very consciousnesses of their readers; and proceeds to build living characters, central and minor, for their dangerous potential to impact." -Publishers Weekly Read more...
