About This Item
Mass Market Paperback. Publisher: Faber & Faber | 2022 | Mass Market Paperback | 172 p. | This book is brand new. | Translator: Abbas Higgins, Aneesa | Language: Engelska --- Information regarding the book: In beautifully sparse prose, The Pachinko Parlour is a contemplation on language, history and trauma and how, in spite of the ineffable past, we eventually come to console one another. - Yan Ge, author of The Strange Beasts of China It is summer in Tokyo. Claire finds herself dividing her time between tutoring twelve-year-old Mieko, in an apartment in an abandoned hotel, and lying on the floor at her grandparents: daydreaming, playing Tetris and listening to the sounds from the street above. The heat rises; the days slip by. The plan is for Claire to visit Korea with her grandparents. They fled the civil war there over fifty years ago, along with thousands of others, and haven't been back since. When they first arrived in Japan, they opened Shiny, a pachinko parlour. Shiny is still open, drawing people in with its bright, flashing lights and promises of good fortune. And as Mieko and Claire gradually bond, a tender relationship growing, Mieko's determination to visit the pachinko parlour builds. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.
