"A haunting portrait of Tokyo life."-Shelf Awareness
Set in the early hours of the morning in and around Tokyo, this ingeniously constructed American debut is an energetic fresco of nocturnal existence. Hailed as a mélange of Agatha Christie, Teju Cole, and Hieronymus Bosch, Goodnight Tokyo is a compelling reflection on human relationships in modern-day metropolises at the intersection of isolation and intimacy.
Yoshida's debut offers readers a unique and intimate take on Tokyo; its characters are mysteriously but intricately interconnected and their fates converge and diverge on the city's neon-lit streets and in its nighttime alleys.
