THE THIEF is a remarkable work of crime fiction built on postmodern narrative, issued by Soho Crime as a powerful translation from the Japanese by Satoko Izumo and Stephen Coates. Our review from 2012 is here.
Now Soho Crime (an imprint of Soho Press) has reissued THE THIEF in a deluxe edition that includes a new introduction by Duane Swierczynski to put this thriller into perspective. There's also an afterword by the author to mark this 10-year retrospective.
If you're intrigued by how crime fiction maneuvers across language and culture, this edition definitely belongs on your shelf.
