by Mari Akasaka (Translator)
Following a chance encounter with a truck driver one night, Rei Hayakawa, a troubled young journalist, embarks on a journey through the snowy wastelands of northern Japan. Together the unlikely pair explore their sexuality and their demons, and the memories that compel them to keep moving. Powerful and highly original, "Vibrator" is a novel that drives at the broken heart of a lost generation.
