<p><b>'A cyberpunk coming-of-age tale' <i>Japan Times</i> </b></p> <p>Two babies are left in a Tokyo station coin locker and survive against the odds, but their lives are forever tainted by this inauspicious start. </p> <p>Raised amidst the outcasts and misfits of Toxitown, they carve out vastly different paths: one as a bisexual rock star on a desperate search for his mother, the other as an athlete consumed by revenge against the woman who left him behind.</p> <p>When their twisted journeys start to intertwine, this savage and stunning story plunges headlong into a surrealistic whirl of violence.</p> <p><b>'Encapsulates the <i>fin de sicle</i> cultural detonation of Japanese youth' <i>Kirkus</i></b></p>

Recensioner i media

'Ably encapsulates the fin de siecle cultural detonation of Japanese youth... Snyder's agile translation preserves much of the shock, beauty, and pathos in this apocalyptic minisaga of troubled times' - Kirkus 'Ryu Murakami is known for the sex-drugs-and-violence style of his fiction and Coin Locker Babies has it all... A cyberpunk coming-of-age tale' - Japan Times
