商品描述
The Akutagawa prize-winning novel by Kou Machida, Japan's 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.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《日本最具異想天開與創意的作家町田康所獲得的芥川獎小說。》
Rip It Up 是町田康獲獎小說的首部英文翻譯，這項工作耗時五年，並且是Inpatient Press翻譯印刷品牌Mercurial Editions的首發作品。 故事設定在Y2K前後的日本，呈現出一幅萬花筒般的超現實景象，Rip It Up 記錄了一位失意的想要成為優雅紳士的角色的惡行與懷疑，他在藝術世界的邊緣勉強維生，因朋友的成功而心生嫉妒，對自己創作（及道德）的破產感到沮喪。町田的文筆既幽默又可怕，深入探討創意精神的話語深度，展現了一場令人頭暈目眩的退化與自我破壞的調查。作者簡介
Kou Machida is a punk singer, actor, and author, who turned to poetry and fiction after releasing one of the seminal Japanese punk albums with his band INU, 1981's Meshi kuuna! (Fuck Eating!). He has won the Akutagawa and Tanizaki prizes among many others, and his 2005 novel Kokuhaku (Confession) was named one of the three best books of the last thirty years by the Asahi Newspaper. Daniel Joseph is a translator, editor, and musician who spent his salad days shouting in dank basements before getting a master's degree in medieval Japanese literature. Recent translation projects include contributions to Terminal Boredom (2021), a collection of stories by science fiction pioneer Izumi Suzuki; and the memoir Try Saying You're Alive! (Blank Forms, 2021) by outsider folk maniac Kazuki Tomokawa.
