Περιγραφή για Slow Boat Hideo Furukawa Pushkin Press

A startling novella from the heir to Haruki Murakami and Gabriel García Márquez\'I\'ve never made it out of Tokyo. I can\'t tell you how many times I\'ve asked myself if the boundary is real. Of course it\'s real. And if you think I\'m lying, you can come and see for yourself.\'Trapped in Tokyo, left behind by a series of girlfriends, the narrator of Slow Boat sizes up his situation. His missteps, his violent rebellions, his tiny victories. But he is not a passive loser, content to accept all that fate hands him. He attempts one last escape to the edges of the city, holding the only safety net he has known - his dreams.Filled with lyrical longing and humour, Slow Boat captures perfectly the urge to get away and the necessity of finding yourself in a world which might never even be looking for you.Hideo Furukawa, born in 1966, is an acclaimed and prize-winning writer, hailed by many in Japan\'s literary world as a prodigy worthy of inheriting the mantle of Haruki Murakami. He was awarded the Mishima Prize in 2006 for Love. His best-known novel is the 2008 Holy Family, an epic work of alternate history set in north-eastern Japan, where he was born.
