Read Harajuku Sunday Storyline:
*This book made it as far as the so-called 'Big Six' publishers.*'THE' voice of a generation, lost in Tokyo.Ayoung American college graduate travels to Tokyo to find his fortune.
There, he joins a fast-moving, high-spending, drug-using crowd of louche
foreigners. After one particularly disastrous party, criminal charges
are filed, reputations are ruined, and the narrator is targeted by an
enraged father who is also a senior US embassy commissioner. Involved
with a hooker girlfriend and thoroughly addicted to the drugs with which
he once only experimented, the narrator is confronted on his inner-most
resources to overcome the greatest challenge of his life. From the
members’ rooms of Japan’s most exclusive private clubs, to the penthouse
suites of its ennui-filled glitterati, to the luxury yachts populating
Tokyo Bay, HARAJUKU SUNDAY unfolds against a background of the beautiful
and damned: a story about modern Tokyo, drug use, and the lives of
young Americans at the far edge of the Pacific Rim. Drawing comparisons
to the work of the young Yukio Mishima and Ryu Murakami, SUNDAY is Lost
in Translation meets Brideshead Revisited in an elegy for a lost period
of expat life.
