RyÅ« Murakami,Ralph McCarthy
A pulsating psycho-thriller from Ryu Murakami, author of ,In the Miso Soup,A renaissance man for the postmodern age, Ryu Murakamiâ€”a musician, filmmaker (,Tokyo Decadence,), TV personality, and award-winning authorâ€”has gained a cult following in the West. His first novel, ,Almost Transparent Blue,, won Japanâ€™s most coveted literary prize and sold over a million copies, and his most recent psychosexual thriller, ,In the Miso Soup,, gave readers a further taste of his incredibly agile imagination. In ,Piercing,, Murakami, in his own unique style, explores themes of child abuse and what happens to the voiceless among us, weaving a disturbing, spare tale of two people who find each other and then are forced into hurting each other deeply because of the haunting specter of their own abuse as children.
