Life for Sale: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor Yukio Mishima Traducere de Stephen Dodd
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 feb 2021
'The best book I've read this year ... darkly comedic and full of tension and surprise' Marina Abramovic

'Life for sale. Use me as you wish. I am a twenty-seven-year-old male. Discretion guaranteed. Will cause no bother at all.'


When Hanio Yamada realises the future holds little of worth to him, he puts his life for sale in a Tokyo newspaper, thus unleashing a series of unimaginable exploits. A world of murderous mobsters, hidden cameras, a vampire woman, poisoned carrots, code-breaking, a hopeless junkie heiress and makeshift explosives reveals itself to the unwitting hero. Is there nothing he can do to stop it? Resolving to follow the orders of his would-be purchasers, he comes to understand what life is worth, and whether we can indeed name our price.

Notă biografică

Yukio Mishimawas born in 1925 in Tokyo, and is considered one of Japan's most important writers. His books broke social boundaries and taboos at a time when Japan found itself in a state of rapid social change. His interests, besides writing, included body-building, acting and practising as a Samurai. In 1970 he attempted to start a military coup, which failed. Upon realizing this, Mishima performedseppuku, a ritual suicide, upon himself. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature three times.

Recenzii

Yields a rare glimpse of the pulp-fiction flipside that partnered the rhapsodic and mystical Mishima... grotesque, melodramatic, spectacular, utterly silly
It's funny and horrific and curious and thoroughly entertaining and should win Mishima a new generation of fans
There is a place in life for the exhilarating, surreal and sometimes downright silly. This novel ticks all the boxes
Succeeds in capturing vividly the bathos of the self-pitying modern nihilist... the absurdity of life is conveyed through the tropes of pulp fiction and manga comics
An engaging all-action satire
A writer of immense energy and ability
