Ryu Murakami, author of In the Miso Soup, returns with a throbbing psycho-thriller.
Ryu Murakami, an award-winning novelist, TV personality, musician, and filmmaker (Tokyo Decadence), is a Renaissance man for the postmodern era who has developed a cult following in the West. His first book, Almost Transparent Blue, sold over a million copies and was awarded Japan's most prestigious literary prize. His most recent work, the psychosexual thriller In the Miso Soup, offered readers another glimpse into his extraordinarily creative mind. Piercing is a chilling, spare story about two people who find each other and are then driven to deeply hurt each other by the specter of their own childhood abuse. Murakami tackles themes of child abuse and what happens to the voiceless among us in his own distinctive style.
