Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2020 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN TRANSLATED LITERATURE A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR A surreal, devastating story of a homeless ghost who haunts one of Tokyo's busiest train stations. Kazu is dead. Born in Fukushima in 1933, the same year as the Japanese Emperor, his life is tied by a series of coincidences to the Imperial family and has been shaped at every turn by modern Japanese history. But his life story is also marked by bad luck, and now, in death, he is unable to rest, doomed to haunt the park near Ueno Station in Tokyo. Kazu's life in the city began and ended in that park; he arrived there to work as a laborer in the preparations for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and ended his days living in the vast homeless village in the park, traumatized by the destruction of the 2011 tsunami and shattered by the announcement of the 2020 Olympics. Through Kazu's eyes, we see daily life in Tokyo buzz around him and learn the intimate details of his personal story, how loss and society's inequalities and constrictions spiraled towards this ghostly fate, with moments of beauty and grace just out of reach. A powerful masterwork from one of Japan's most brilliant outsider writers, Tokyo Ueno Station is a book for our times and a look into a marginalized existence in a shiny global megapolis.

Book excerpt: Albany Rott created the secret nocturnal city of Station as a second chance for a select few. Complete with an automaton servant class, extreme surgical procedures that can dramatically alter appearances, and exotic narcotics, Station was founded as a utopian world for those who had failed to cope with life's challenges. Or at least that was the story being told. Grief-stricken Marlin Hadder had failed to cope with life's biggest challenge, so he killed himself. The death didn't take, but it did earn him a bizarre invitation to the city of eternal night. As city and man are united by unseen forces, a unique partnership is forged. Station's alien environment is exactly what Marlin Hadder needs to overcome his loss and build a new life. Marlin Hadder's unique convoluted disposition makes him the exact hero that Station needs to stave off its inevitable fall. As storm clouds gather over a group of violent residents called Risers, who have abused Station's gifts to transform themselves into killing machines, Hadder must convince a community grown complacent that they'll have to fight for these new lives. Because third chances don't exist. As a shocking murder, a great duel, and a heartbreaking act set chess pieces in motion, dark truths emerge concerning the Risers' ultimate goal and Marlin Hadder's role as savior or destructor. The clock is ticking. And Station's greatest question remains unanswered. Was Station truly founded for the reasons stated? Or are the residents mere puppets for cheap theater between gods?
