Big in Japan: A (Hungry) Ghost Story by M. Thomas Gammarino
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 11.8MB
Overview: While playing to lackluster crowds in their hometown of Philadelphia, progressive rock band Agenbite clings to the comforting half-truth that they’re doing better in Japan. When their manager agrees to send them over on a shoestring tour, though, they’re swiftly forced to give up their illusions and return stateside.
All but one of them, that is.
Brain Tedesco, the band’s obsessive-compulsive nerve center, has fallen in love with a part-time sex worker the first woman ever to have touched him and his illusions have only just begun. What ensues is a gritty coming-of-age tale in which Brain, intent on achieving some kind of transcendence, paradoxically (or not so paradoxically) descends into the Hungry Ghost realm of Tokyo’s underworld. He becomes, in effect, a gaki – the insatiable creature of Buddhist cosmology and must learn how to live even as his outsize desires threaten to engulf him.
By turns compassionate and ruthless, erotic and grotesque, riotously serious and deadly funny, Big in Japan is a sparking, gut wrenching, face melting debut novel.
