J-Book Club, July 12
Tokyo Ueno Station: A Novel, Yu Miri
|
|
2020 National Book Award in translated literature and a New York Times notable book of the year. A surreal, devastating story of a homeless ghost who haunts one of Tokyo’s busiest train stations.
Through Kazu’s eyes, we see daily life in Tokyo buzz around him and learn the intimate details of his personal story, how loss and society’s inequalities and constrictions spiraled towards this ghostly fate, with moments of beauty and grace just out of reach. A powerful masterwork from one of Japan’s most brilliant outsider writers, Tokyo Ueno Station is a book for our times and a look into a marginalized existence in a shiny global megapolis.
J-Book Club is online so you can join the conversation from wherever you are!
