Goodnight Tokyo

<strong>"Rewards are plentiful."- <em>Financial Times </em></strong>

<strong>"A must-read for Murakami fans."- <em>Hotlist </em></strong>

Set in the early hours of the morning in and around Tokyo, this ingeniously constructed English language debut is an energetic fresco of nocturnal existence. Hailed as a melange of Agatha Christie, Teju Cole, and Hieronymus Bosch, <em>Goodnight Tokyo </em>is a compelling reflection on human relationships in modern-day metropolises at the intersection of isolation and intimacy.

Matsui is the driver of a taxi the colour of the night sky. Every night between the hours of 1 am and 4.30 am, when Tokyo's eccentrics and insomniacs emerge, he guides his taxi around the streets of Tokyo, collecting passengers and their stories.

Yoshida's novel offers readers a unique and intimate take on Tokyo as seen through the eyes of a large cast of colourful characters whose lives are mysteriously but intricately interconnected and whose fates converge against the backdrop of the city's neon-lit streets and night-time alleys.
