This premier work from an author celebrated for his portrayals of today's youth in Japan offers an invigorating picture of young men rising up, unarmed, against cruel reality. A series of eight interconnected tales, it follows a year in the lives of four 14-year-olds?Naoto, Dai, Jun, and the narrator Tetsuro?set against the backdrop of Tsukishima, a bayside district of Tokyo that runs the gamut from impoverished wooden tenements to sparkling high-rise apartments.
