A cult cyberpunk masterpiece, and Ryu Murakami's most famous novel.

Two babies are left in a Tokyo station coin locker and survive against the odds, but their lives are forever tainted by this inauspicious start. As they grow up, they join the ranks of Toxitown: a district of addicts, freaks and prostitutes. While one becomes a bisexual rock star searching for his mother, the other one, an athlete, seeks revenge on the woman who abandoned him. This savage and stunning story unfolds in a surrealistic whirl of violence.

Industry Reviews

'Ably encapsulates the fin de siecle cultural detonation of Japanese youth... Snyder's agile translation preserves much of the shock, beauty, and pathos in this apocalyptic minisaga of troubled times' - Kirkus

'Ryu Murakami is known for the sex-drugs-and-violence style of his fiction and Coin Locker Babies has it all... A cyberpunk coming-of-age tale' - Japan Times
