About the Book

Tokyo Performance is set in the pre-internet age, brilliantly captures the zeitgeist of Japan at the time. In this riveting, entertaining and wholly poignant tale, a Japanese celebrity receives a phone call while live on air that will change his life forever. Nori, a high profile Tokyo-based celebrity chef with his own weekly television show, is famous and beloved and he knows it - but he's about to put in his strangest performance. Award-winning writer, playwright and film director, Roger Pulvers, brings his love and deep fascination for Japanese culture to Tokyo Performance, a funny and, at times, tragic story, which explores the cost of fame. Red Circle Minis: Original, Short and Compelling Reads Tokyo Performance is part of Red Circle Minis, a series of short captivating books by Japan's finest contemporary writers that brings the narratives and voices of Japan together as never before. Each book is a first edition written specifically for the series and is being published in English first.

About the Author :
Helping make Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence and befriending David Bowie brought Pulvers back to Japan and inspired him to become the award-winning and prolific author, playwright and film director he is today. He has published more than 50 books in Japanese and English, including novels, essays, plays, poetry and translations. And has directed a full length feature film, Star Sand, based on one of his novels.

Review :
'Roger Pulvers' recollections of life in Japan are bound to become a part of Japan's national heritage.' Ryuichi Sakamoto, musician and composer 'By ingeniously blending TV narration with a stark and revealing stream of consciousness, Pulvers' Tokyo Performance connects you with the moment while highlighting the bizarre polarity of celebrity, arrogance and decay.' Alex Pearl, author of Sleeping with the Blackbirds ''Few Japanese intellectuals have absorbed Japanese culture to the extent that Pulvers has. If there were no Pulvers, Japan would be a much less interesting country!' Seigo Matsuoka, editor, author and professor
