Praise for The Rope Artist
Nakamura specializes in combining elements from disparate genres. The Rope Artist, translated by Sam Bett, is his most extreme juxtaposition yet. The book mixes the tropes and trappings of a noir novel with the tortured perceptions of a Poe protagonist and the cruel pleasures of the Marquis de Sade.
Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal
[Nakamura] employs the tactics of pulp novelists to tell a story that exists somewhere in the nexus of grindhouse and Shinto religious practices. The surprisingly philosophical narrative also investigates power dynamics in sexual relationships, and the nature of dominance and submission in role play.
The Toronto Star
Nakamura s cool, calculated prose is the perfect fit for this seedy tale.
CrimeReads
Nakamura has a penchant for the dark and depraved . . . A mind-bending mystery that burrows into the brains of its characters and excavates the darkness of their inner lives.
Tokyo Weekender
Nakamura fearlessly portrays violence, eroticism and inner darkness that slowly unravels like a tangled rope.
GaijinPot
A surreal tsunami of sex, politics, religion, imperialism, and haunting memories . . . Identities are altered, licentious secrets revealed in Nakamura s unflinching, emotionally charged rewarding read.
The National Book Review
The Rope Artist is full of damaged lives and dark reflection, more concerned with what (often very twisted things) lurks within the heart than laying out a neat murder-mystery.
The Complete Review
Raw eroticism, untethered justice, unreliable narratives, and psychological twists infuse this complex literary mystery with edgy danger and lingering existential questions.
Booklist
Gorgeous and lurid. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine
[Nakamura] produces a stunning climactic surprise that will make you think of this particular case, and erotic bondage generally, in a whole new way. Spellbinding.

Nakamura's impassioned writing is part of a continuum that stretches from Dostoevsky to Camus to e.
