Trade Paperback.  Translated by Haydn Trowell

Set in the early hours of the morning in and around Tokyo, this ingeniously constructed American debut is an energetic fresco of nocturnal existence. Hailed as a mélange of Agatha Christie, Teju Cole, and Hieronymus Bosch, Goodnight Tokyo is a compelling reflection on human relationships in modern-day metropolises at the intersection of isolation and intimacy.

Yoshida's debut offers readers a unique and intimate take on Tokyo; its characters are mysteriously but intricately interconnected and their fates converge and diverge on the city's neon-lit streets and in its nighttime alleys.
