Piercing
Ryu Murakami
Synopsis "Piercing"
"Mr. Murakami's novels are filled with entertaining psychopaths." -- The New York Times A pulsating cult-favorite psycho-thriller, the basis of the major motion picture starring Christopher Abbott and Mia Wasikowska *One of Literary Hub's "Ten Works of Literary Horror You Should Read (Even if You Don't Think You Like Horror)"* Kawashima Masayuki is a successful graphic designer living in Tokyo with his loving wife, Yoko, and their baby girl. Outwardly, their lives are a picture of happiness and contentment, but every night while his wife sleeps Kawashima creeds from him bed and watches over the baby's crib with an ice pick in his hand and an almost visceral desire to use it. One night, as this struggle unfolds once more, Kawashima makes a decision to confront his demons and sets into motion an uncontrollable chain of events seeming to lead inexorably to murder. The follow-up to In the Miso Soup from a cult favorite writer, Piercing confirms Murakami as the master of the psycho thriller--terrifying, sickening, and utterly gripping
Ryū Murakami (村上龍) es un escritor y director de cine japonés nacido en Sasebo (Nagasaki) el 19 de febrero de 1952. Su nombre verdadero es Murakami Ryunosuke (村上龍之介?). Debido a la coincidencia de apellidos con Haruki Murakami, en los ochenta sería frecuente que se hablara de los "dos Murakamis", aunque en realidad no son parientes ni comparten mucho en términos literarios.
Sus novelas suelen caracterizarse por la crudeza en las descripciones y la violencia de las situaciones narradas. El hecho de haber vivido cerca de una base militar estadounidense en su Sasebo natal le permitió conocer en profundidad la cultura e idiosincrasia norteamericana. Sus obras más conocidas son Azul casi transparente, de la que Murakami dirigió su adaptación cinematográfica,5 Sopa de Miso y Piercing.
