Tokio ha sido gravemente dañada por los bombardeos aliados, la población se muere de hambre mientras los vencedores, déspotas y brutales, ocupan el territorio. En medio del calor y del caos, el inspector de policía japonés Minami se dirige sin mucha convicción a la escena del crímen.
Una mujer joven aparece estrangulada en un parque de la ciudad y Minami intuye que es cuestión de tiempo que más mujeres aparezcan muertas. Adicto a los calmantes y sumido en las redes del señor del crimen local, Minami se esfuerza por averiguar el origen de estos crímenes complejos y escalofriantes, cada vez más convencido de que su propio pasado y sus más oscuros secretos están ligados a los del asesino.

A tough read. A police murder investigation set in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War in Tokyo. A disturbing serial killer, a troubled policeman, a harsh economic and social setting all described in a highly stylised manner. Tough but worth it. ( )

Well this one certainly is different!
It's basically detective historical fiction - police solving a series of murders in Tokyo immediately after WW2. But the writing style belongs to no genre that I am aware of - lots of short repetitive phrases and sounds that do tend to paint a picture in the readers mind, but there is a lack of narrative to successfully stitch it all together. It's like reading a cryptic crossword crossed with a novel. It's normal for an author to deliberately withhold information for narrative effect, but this book goes far beyond that.
In the end, I was glad I read the book, but I'm not sure I will be coming back for the subsequent two volumes in the trilogy. ( )

Hace un año que Japón se ha rendido en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En medio de la confusión y el caos que sigue, los cuerpos parcialmente descompuestos, violados y estrangulados, de dos mujeres se encuentran en el parque Shiba de la ciudad de Tokio. Pronto se descubrirán más asesinatos: mujeres asesinadas de la misma manera y, queda claro, por la misma mano.

Narrado por el cínico, desesperado pero decidido detective Minami de la Policía Metropolitana de Tokio, Tokio año cero ficciona la historia real del Barba Azul japonés, un soldado imperial condecorado que violó y asesinó al menos a diez mujeres en medio de la desolación del Japón de la posguerra («un enorme mar de personas desplazadas… Un segundo estás aquí y al otro has desaparecido»). Y esta es también la historia del detective Minami: perseguir y perseguir recuerdos de atrocidades que ya no puede explicar ni perdonar. David Peace arranca su Trilogía de Tokio con esta impactante novela negra que nos envuelve y zarandea, que nos arrastra a una ciudad que apesta a cloacas y en la que los piojos martirizan a los supervivientes, los afortunados, condenados a zurcir las mismas ropas durante años y a vivir bajo las normas del ocupante. Un libro magistral y mántrico del mejor Peace.

Lingering over the words and pages of this novel is probably the worst way to approach it. Its effects accumulate and are best absorbed quickly. Reading Tokyo Year Zero, then, in one or two sittings is the best strategy. That way, it has some mild payoff.

The book's style and writing is neither as off putting as its detractors think or as brilliant as its advocates make out. In fact, it is largely derivative and unsurprising, except for the defining meter of its sentences, which are akin to those of nursery rhymes, which are then given the imagery of a machine gun, and then packaged in an atmosphere of despair and madness.

Dismembering and shattering are the themes. Restoration through ambiguity and identity, the goal. Emerging from the ashes, a world and society cut off from its prior centuries. All made anew. But to what end? ( )
