Sixty-Nine

A side-splittingly funny coming-of-age novel set in the Japan of the sixties, Ryu Murakami's novel is an unusually funny and autobiographical book from an author known for his darkly violent and cynical side. Being young in the 1960s is the same in Japan as everywhere. This is a personal but profound insight into a much wider upheaval in society.

Un roman despre maturizare extrem de amuzant, plasat in Japonia anilor saizeci, romanul lui Ryu Murakami este o carte neobisnuit de amuzanta si autobiografica, scrisa de un autor cunoscut pentru latura sa intunecata, violenta si cinica. A fi tanar in anii 1960 este la fel in Japonia ca peste tot.
