Infos

An epic novel of postwar, nuclear-age Japan, by the author of Territory of LightMitch and Yonko haven t spoken in a year. As children, they were inseparable, raised together in an orphanage outside Tokyo but ever since the sudden death of Mitch s brother, they ve been mourning in their private ways, worlds apart. In the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe, they choose to reunite, finding each other in a city undone by disaster.Mitch and Yonko have drifted apart, but they will always be bound together. Because long ago they witnessed an unspeakable tragedy, a tragedy that they ve kept secret for their entire lives. They never speak of it, but it s all around them. Like history, it repeats itself.Yuko Tsushima s sweeping and consuming novel is a metaphysical saga of postwar Japan. Wildcat Dome is a hugely ambitious exploration of denial, of the ways in which countries and their citizens avoid telling the truth a tale of guilt, loss, and inevitable reckoning.'Tsushima evades any label, her fiction transcends gender to focus on the existential loneliness that is at the heart of humanity.'
