Along with his reputation as the enfant terrible of Japanese literature, internationally-acclaimed author Ryu Murakami, one of the "two Murakamis" (along with Haruki), has acquired cult status among readers who appreciate his agile imagination, mordant prose and laser-like eye for theoften-absurd details of modern life.With Sixty-Nine, available now for the first time in an English-language trade paperback, this literary bad boy steps out of character with delightful results.
