Rate this book
「日本冒険小説協会公認酒場」と銘打ったバー〈マーロウ〉のアルバイト坂本は、本好きが集まるこの店でカウンターに立つ日々を送っていた。北海道の田舎から出てきた坂本にとって、古本屋街を歩き、マーロウで文芸談義できる毎日は充実感をもたらした。一方で、酒に酔った店主・斉藤顕の横暴な言動と酔客の自分勝手な振る舞いには我慢ならない想いも抱えていた。そんなある日、ゴールデン街で放火未遂事件が起こる。親しくしている店の常連「ナベさん」は放火取り締まりのため見回りを始めるが、その矢先、何者かに殺されてしまう。坂本は犯人捜しに立ち上がるが――。若手作家の胎動著しき頃、ゴールデン街がもっともゴールデン街らしかった時代にひりひりする時間を過ごした著者の、最初で最後の自伝的青春小説。電子書籍特典として〈1985年前後のゴールデン街/三光町商店街地図〉と〈【年表】1985年のできごと〉を収録。※本書は、「本の旅人」2017年8月号~2018年7月号の連載「新宿ゴールデン街セレナーデ」を改題のうえ、加筆修正したものです。

A few of his novels were adapted into Asian films, such as The City of Lost Souls and Sleepless Town, in 2000 and 1998, respectively.

Some of his novels were adapted into films, such as Fuyajo or 'Sleepless Town' (1998) directed by Chi-Ngai Lee, and 'The City of Lost Souls (2000) Directed by legendary Yakuza crime filmmaker Takashi Miike.
