This Kafkaesque novel is an ambitious work about the lives of outcasts in modern Japan and such troubling themes as ecological destruction, old age, violence, and nuclear war ("New York Times Book Review").

Quirky little touch from the seller at an indie store in Edinburgh, who was making origami animals at the till. Its hard to see here but this is a frog 🐸 which she thought represented my purchase of the tagged book.

I am now even more curious to read it, which I guess means she has done her job very well!

BookNAround I love that! 3y

I‘d love for there to be in existence “an old people‘s paradise”. We need one! Living through the pandemic is not it! ☹️

This is such a fun book to read. It‘s totally absurd, as were the other two books I‘ve read by this same author. Hey! What can I say? I love weird!!

"However much you may move around, as long as the motion is circular you haven't really gone anywhere; the important is to maintain a tranquil inner core."

SqueakyChu I love this quote about the eucapccia. I wrote it down as well. I‘m really enjoying this book so far - a fun escapist novel. 4y
