Hustling the East: A Dai-Nippon Trilogy

By Tom Bradley

0 - Default Title
Description
Three novels of contemporary Japan, featuring that disgruntled expatriate, Sam Edwine... Kara-kun is set in Hiroshima, fifty years after the fact, where Sam brings the foreign community face-to-face with the Japanese Mafia. In Flip-kun, Sam is being stalked through Hiroshima by fundamentalist missionaries who suspect him of being the author of a blasphemous book, and have declared a western-style fatwa on his head. In The Curved Jewels, the Crown Princess of Japan gets tired of her living-death in the Imperial Palace, and escapes with Sam's help. A merciless humor and tireless passion for words not seen since the King James Bible drive Bradley's work at bullet-train speed through unmapped areas of linguistic elasticity and imagination. Readers once begun will find their concentration hostaged from all other diversions until they reach the last page. --David Wood, author of A Definitive Study of Sylvia Plath's Imagery
