Goodnight Tokyo

Goodnight Tokyo - Atsuhiro Yoshida

Goodnight Tokyo

"Imbued with optimism-that despite living an unremarkable life or feeling small in the midst of an unrelenting vastness, you can achieve your dreams." -Chicago Review of Books
"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.
"Goodnight Tokyo explores the hushed surprises and understated mysteries enmeshed in daily human connectivity."-Foreword Reviews (starred review)
"Readers will be reminded of Jim Jarmusch's 1991 movie Night on Earth."-NPR
"Explores all of the surprising and mysterious ways we affect each other."-Bustle
A symphony of interconnected lives that offers a compelling reflection on life in modern-day metropolises at the intersection of isolation and intimacy in Yoshida's English-language debut
Set over several nights, between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 4:30 a.m., in and around Tokyo, this mind-blowingly constructed book is an elaborate, energetic fresco of human nocturnal existence in all its mystery, an enigmatic literary mix of Agatha Christie, Teju Cole, and Heironymous Bosch.
On this journey through the labyrinthine streets and hidden corners of one of the world's most fascinating cities, everybody is searching for something, and maybe searching in the wrong places. Elements of the fantastical and the surreal abound, as they tend to do in the early pre-dawn hours of the morning, yet the settings, the human stories, and each character's search are all as real as can be.
Goodnight Tokyo offers readers a unique and intimate take on Tokyo as seen through the eyes of a large cast of colorful characters. Their lives, as disparate and as far apart as they may seem, are in fact intricately interconnected, and their fates converge against the backdrop of the city's neon-lit streets and quiet alleyways. In his English-language debut, Yoshida masterfully portrays in captivating and lyrical prose the complexities of human rel
