number9dream by David Mitchell

Blurring the line between dream and waking, Number 9 Dream is a whirlwind story that takes us through Tokyo to the normal mundanity of ordinary lives, working, living, shopping. To the brothels and Yakuza owned backstreets. Through it all Eiji Miyake is a young man trying to find his absentee father whilst coping with the loss of his twin sister, for which he blames himself. Eiji frequently switches between real life and his increasingly imaginative day dreams in this epic story.
