Work
Number9Dream: A Novel
Set in Tokyo, the novel follows Eiji Miyake, a 19-year-old from a rural island, as he arrives in the bustling metropolis to find the father he has never met. The story unfolds through a series of dreamlike episodes, video game-inspired sequences, and literary allusions, blending genres such as cyberpunk, coming-of-age, and mystery. Eiji's quest leads him through encounters with yakuza, hackers, and eccentric strangers, while his inner world is populated by memories, fantasies, and alternate realities. The narrative structure mirrors the title's reference to a song by The Beatles, incorporating themes of identity, memory, and the search for belonging in a hypermodern world. more
