Publisher's Synopsis
No literal description of Sayonara, Gangsters' plot could ever hope to do it justice. The narrator is a poetry teacher named Sayonara, Gangsters' - he's named after a gang that's been knocking off US Presidents one after another in the novel's facetious near-future. Unfolding in short sketches that often read like poetry or philosophical meditations, Sayonara, Gangsters is a hilarious and inventive postmodernist novel about language, expression, and the creative process from Haruki Murakami's way-more-out-there literary cousin.'
