Dream #9

The second novel by David Mitchell, a modern classicist and two-time Booker Prize finalist for Dream No. 9 and Cloud Atlas (recently adapted by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowski brothers). Twenty-year-old Eiji Miyake arrives from his tiny island in Tokyo with one obsession: to find the father he has never seen in his life. Eiji's everyday life is subtly mixed with fantasies and dreams, as he leafs through the diaries of a torpedo man, meets a ruthless yakuza, John Lennon, and the god of thunder. Whether simple bad luck, or the invisible hand of fate leads Eiji from misadventure to misadventure, from work in the bureau of finds - in the backstage of the exclusive club "Queen of Spades", from unwitting participation in the mafia showdown - to first love ...
"A dizzying mix of thriller, tragedy, fairy tale parable, video games and a portrait of contemporary troubled Japan. A worthy candidate for the Booker (Guardian).
The translation is published in a revised edition.
