Matsuo is expected to become a samurai, like his father before him. But as he is training in the art of war, he realises he was destined for a different art altogether. Turning his back on his future as a warrior of the sword, he decides to do battle with words instead, as a poet. Matsuo's quest to find his true self, and his true love, takes him through bloody battlefields and burning cities. But his ultimate test will be the uta awase - a tournament where Japan's greatest poets engage in fierce verbal combat for the honour of victory, and where Matsuo will find himself fighting for his life.

Övrig information

Denis Thriault is an award-winning author, playwright and screenwriter living in Montreal. He has long been fascinated by Japan, and Japanese poetry in particular. Haikus were central to his The Peculiar Life of a Lonely Postman, which was an international bestseller, translated into sixteen languages across the world, won the Japan-Canada Book Prize and was selected for the Radio 2 Book Club in the UK. The Samurai of the Red Carnation once again revolves around traditional Japanese verse, and is set during the medieval golden age of poetry in Japan.
