Synopsis:
A youth in college, his older mistress and a melange of old friends. This novel is full of rapidly sketched scenes that glide from everyday reality to the hallucinatory.
Review: "Highly recommended for readers of the bizarre, readers who thought they were really "making the scene" as street freaks back in the late 60s, or those who still think of Japan as the land of cherry blossoms and bald-headed monks." "A Japanese mix of A Clockwork Orange and L'Etranger." -Newsweek "Bugs and mucus, cheesecake and semen, rain and runways-all lovingly described." - Washington Post "Highly recommended for readers of the bizarre." -Antioch Review "A violent book-sharply begun and slammed quickly to a finish." -Bestsellers "A Japanese mix of A Clockwork Orange and L'Etranger." -Newsweek "Bugs and mucus, cheesecake and semen, rain and runways-all lovingly described." - Washington Post "Highly recommended for readers of the bizarre." -Antioch Review "A violent book-sharply begun and slammed quickly to a finish." -Bestsellers "A Japanese mix of A Clockwork Orange and L'Etranger." -Newsweek "Bugs and mucus, cheesecake and semen, rain and runways-all lovingly described." - Washington Post "Highly recommended for readers of the bizarre." -Antioch Review "A violent book-sharply begun and slammed quickly to a finish." -Bestsellers "A Japanese mix of A Clockwork Orange and L'Etranger." -Newsweek "Bugs and mucus, cheesecake and semen, rain and runways-all lovingly described." - Washington Post "Highly recommended for readers of the bizarre." -Antioch Review "A violent book-sharply begun and slammed quickly to a finish." -Bestsellers
