Available Copies Details Synopsis

On January 26, 1948, a man posing as a public health official arrives at a bank in Tokyo. He explains that he�s there to treat everyone who might have been exposed to a recent outbreak of dysentery. Soon after drinking the medicine he administers, twelve employees are dead, four are unconscious, and the �official� has fled. Twelve voices tell the story of the murder from different perspectives including a journalist, a gangster-turned-businessman, an �occult detective,� and a well-known painter. Each voice enlarges and deepens the portrait of a city and a people making their way out of a war-induced hell. Told with David Peace�s brilliantly idiosyncratic and mesmerizing voice, Occupied City is a stunningly audacious work from a singular writer.
