Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. After three years in Japan, Fred Buchanan is broke, unemployed and engaged in a telepathic turf war with a feral cat behind an Okinawa convenience store. Thus begins his metaphysical odyssey back to Tokyo.Along the way, symbols and sages materialize in the form of a two-fingered jazz musicia…n, the faded tattoo on an ex-yakuza lover, an odd brood of internet cafe refugees, the kite flyer of Kabukicho and Yukie, an alluring hostess with strips of delicious thigh and strange power imbued in the etched eye on her fingernail.Charging through Shinjuku's neon jungle, enveloped in a boozy, nicotine-stained haze, past and present collide as an empty orchestra croons a slow dance of people and place, memory and madness, loss and love. All the while, Fred struggles to be an agent of his destiny and not another ball bearing bouncing through the cosmic pachinko.Rainy Day Ramen and the Cosmic Pachinko is told as a uniquely clever mix of Murakami-esque magical realism and gonzo Japan travelogue. Rainy Day Ramen and the Cosmic Pachinko is told in two distinct, overlapping and interwoven, formats - it describes Fred's drunken, staggering, metaphysical odyssey from Okinawa to Tokyo, and the search for meaning beyond the physical path trodden - and blends Murakami-esque magical realism with a coming-of-age / on-the-road story. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
