Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'The characters habit of introspection gives these tales a hazy, dreamlike quality; the physical environment of Tokyo is rarely described directly. What gives them their sense of place is, rather, their shared sense of the ephemeral aspect to life in the big city and the various pleasures and sadnesses it brings.' --The Independent

'By using many translators, including new and emerging practitioners, The Book of Tokyo captures the variety of styles in the original, and, more importantly, the atmosphere of the city itself: its multitudes, its tragedies, its contradictions and its absurdities.' --The New Welsh Review

'An enigmatic, yet elegant work of art.' --The Singapore Review of Books

Reseña del editor:

The Book of Tokyo collects 10 stories by some of Japan’s most exciting contemporary short story writers. Together, the stories form a kind of literary map of the city’s ever-changing districts through its fiction. With works of literary fiction, crime, science fiction, and horror, the anthology provides an imaginative tour of the city for short story fans and travelers alike.
