His pulp-modernist style feels honed and refined to scalpel-sharp efficiency. Peace is like a fearsome tornado turning the world on its head—and we should be grateful for him. You will occasionally feel glad as you read that nobody else writes like Peace, but you will put down the book amazed and delighted that at least one person does.
David Peace and Kyoko Nakajima in Conversation
He punches through the rib cage to rip it out, vivisect it, and write page after hallucinatory page in its hot, black blood. Occupied City is a gripping crime story, too.
The novels Peace produces are uncommonly serious about the nature of the tissues that bind together history, rumour, politics, psychology, community and fiction. At their best, they develop a kind of literary forensics, exhuming histories of violence to probe the necrotised organs of the societies in which that violence erupts.
Peace wields the scalpel like no one else. About Occupied City On January 26, , a man posing as a public health official arrives at a bank in Tokyo.
About Occupied City A fierce, exquisitely dark novel that plunges us into post—World War II Occupied Japan in a Rashomon -like retelling of a mass poisoning based on an actual event , its aftermath, and the hidden wartime atrocities that led to the crime.
