Sleep # 9. Mitchell D.

The second novel of the modern classic David Mitchell, twice the finalist of the Buker Prize - for “Song No. 9” and for “Cloud Atlas” (recently filmed by Tom by pumpkver and brothers Vachovsky). A tiny island in Tokyo, soldered by one obsessive idea - to find a father whom I have never seen in life. Eiji’s everyday life is elusively mixed with fantasies and dreams, he leafs through the diaries of a trap of a trap, meets the ruthless Yakuzu, John Lennon and the god of thunder. Either a simple bad luck, or an invisible hand of fate leads Aiji from misadventure, from working in the visit to the finds - into the sidelines of the exclusive club “Peak Lady”, from involuntary participation in mafia showdowns - to first love...

“The dizzying mixture of thriller, tragedy, fabulous parables, video games and portrait of modern troubled Japan. The worthy candidate for the Boker ”(Guardian).
