Product Description

Synopsis
In the title story, Shinya is surprised to find himself on the career conveyer belt totally unaware of his destination. In 'Model', a young Japanese student blithely lives her life under 24-hour surveillance, in order to pay her way through one of Japan's 'prestigious' universities. Sparsely written and beautifully observed, these stories resist cliche and overstatement, and refuse to judge their subjects, presenting a compelling glimpse under the skin of an enigmatic country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Michael Gardiner is a new voice to be heard by everyone!!, 8 May 2006
By Chloe Fields (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews
A real page turner. Escalator moves like a runaway train. The plot in each story is superb and keeps you wanting to read more. I can easily say it's the best collection of stories I have come across in a long time. The characters are great and you feel emotionally attached to them. Get this book today you won't regret it!!!
