Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. An extraordinary and highly original crime novel (New York Times Book Review) that plunges us into postWorld War II Occupied Japan in a Rashomonlike retelling of a mass poisoning (based on an actual event), its aftermath, and the hidden wartime atrocities that led to the crime. Hugely daring, utterly irresistible, deeply serious and unlike anything I have ever read.New York Times Book Review On January 26, 1948, a man identifying himself as a public health official arrives at a bank in Tokyo. There has been an outbreak of dysentery in the neighborhood, he explains, and he has been assigned by Occupation authorities to treat everyone who might have been exposed to the disease. Soon after drinking the medicine he administers, twelve employees are dead, four are unconscious, and the official has fled.Twelve voices tell the story of the murder from different perspectives. One of the victims speaks, for all the victims, from the grave. We read the increasingly mad notes of one of the case detectives, the desperate letters of an American occupier, the testimony of a traumatized survivor. We meet a journalist, a gangster-turned-businessman, an occult detective, a Soviet soldier, a well-known painter. Each voice enlarges and deepens the portrait of a city and a people making their way out of a war-induced hell. Occupied City immerses us in an extreme time and place with a brilliantly idiosyncratic, expressionistic, mesmerizing narrative. It is a stunningly audacious work of fiction from a singular writer. On January 26, 1948, a man posing as a public health official arrives at a bank in Tokyo. He explains that he's there to treat everyone who might have been exposed to a recent outbreak of dysentery. Soon after drinking the medicine he administers, twelve employees are dead, four are unconscious, and the "official" has fled. Twelve voices tell the story of the murder from different perspectives including a journalist, a gangster-turned-businessman, an "occult detective," and a well-known painter. Each voice enlarges and deepens the portrait of a city and a people making their way out of a war-induced hell. Told with David Peace's brilliantly idiosyncratic and mesmerizing voice, "Occupied City" is a stunningly audacious work from a singular writer.
