Hilarious, strange, and moving in equal measure--a Japanese multi-million-copy smash hit about the struggles of a young manzai duo of stand-up comedians
Perfect for readers of strange, funny Japanese fiction, from Sayaka Murata's Convenience Store Woman to Emi Yagi's Diary of a Void "A whip-smart tale that'll prove impossible to put down" - Vogue Tokunaga is a young comedian struggling to make a name for himself. He meets the older Kamiya, who is either a crazy genius or perhaps just crazy, and who agrees to take Tokunaga under his wing if he writes his biography. Kamiya's indestructible confidence inspires Tokunaga, but it also makes him doubt not just the limits of his own talent, but his dedication tomanzai comedy--a Japanese form of comedy involving a duo, one partner playing a more serious character, the other playing the fool. A novel about comedy that's as moving and thoughtful as it is funny, and written by an author who himself found fame as one half of a
manzai comedy duo,
Spark is already a sensation in Japan, where it won the prestigious Akutagawa Prize, has sold more than 3 million copies, has been adapted for manga, stage, film, and a hit Netflix show, which is available now in the US. Offering a hilarious and poignant look at the unique world of Japanese
manzai comedy,
Spark is also a story about art and friendship, about countless bizarre drunken conversations, and about how far it's acceptable to go for a laugh.
