About This Item
Soho Crime, 2021, 2021. Hardcover. Fine/No Jacket. Octavo, hardcover, fine in black and white pictorial boards. No dj. 576 pp. clean and unmarked, as new. Tokyo, 1995. Five men meet at the racetrack every Sunday to bet on horses. They have little in common except a deep disaffection with their lives, but together they represent the social struggles and griefs of post-War Japan: a poorly socialized genius stuck working as a welder; a demoted detective with a chip on his shoulder; a Zainichi Korean banker sick of being ostracized for his race; a struggling single dad of a teenage girl with Down syndrome. The fifth man bringing them all together is an elderly drugstore owner grieving his grandson, who has died suspiciously. Japan's, Kaoru Takamura, makes her English-language debut here. This is volume 1 of 2 volume set.
