in the early hours of the morning in and around Tokyo this ingeniously constructed English
language debut is an energetic fresco of nocturnal existence. Hailed as a mélange of Agatha
Christie Teju Cole and Hieronymus Bosch Goodnight Tokyo is a compelling reflection on human
relationships in modern-day metropolises at the intersection of isolation and intimacy.
Matsui is the driver of a taxi the colour of the night sky. Every night between the hours of 1
am and 4.30 am when Tokyo's eccentrics and insomniacs emerge he guides his taxi around the
streets of Tokyo collecting passengers and their stories. Yoshida's novel offers readers a
unique and intimate take on Tokyo as seen through the eyes of a large cast of colourful
characters whose lives are mysteriously but intricately interconnected and whose fates converge
against the backdrop of the city's neon-lit streets and night-time alleys.
