Speed of Lightness - A Lo-Fi Look at Japan
1,952In Barrie Sherwood's sophomore novel, Speed of Lightness, he takes an unromanticised but wildly engaging look at Japan. As our lead, Aozora, dodges Yakuza knuckledusters and parleys with gyaru call girls in pursuit of his missing sister - and the inheritance she's key to - we're taken on a beautifully broken tour of that wonderful world.
