Shanghai: A Novel by Yokomitsu Riichi
by Riichi Yokomitsu
This book is the most interesting book I read the entire year, and perhaps even longer than that.
This book is not an easy read, the language is simple to understand and is cleverly written, but it deals with topics that can be hard to swallow. It has been a month since I finished this novel and I am still processing all of the characters and what happened - it resonated very deeply with me. The characters are flawed, they have some good and a lot of bad, but I consider that very realistic. You will absolutely hate some, and others you will fall in love with and want to rescue.
This book is gripping, interesting, a somewhat quick read (approximately 2 bedtimes of reading for me). Be warned, if you are sensitive to topics such as death, decomposition, rape and war, this is not for you.
