The Akutagawa prize-winning novel by Kou Machida, Japans most outlandish and inventive author.
Rip It Up is the first ever English translation of Kou Machida''s award-winning novel, an undertaking over five years in the making and the inaugural title of Inpatient Press''s translation imprint Mercurial Editions.
Set in a kaleidoscopic hyperreal Japan circa Y2K, Rip It Up catalogues the misdeeds and misgivings of a down-and-out wannabe debonair who ekes out a meager living at the fringes of the art world, wracked by jealousy at his friend''s success and despondent over his own creative (and moral) bankruptcy. In turn hilarious and also horrifying, Machida''s pyrotechnic prose plumbs the discursive depths of the creative spirit, a head-spinning survey of degeneration and self-sabotage.
