Publisher's Synopsis
A startling work composed of eerily vivid scenes that possess an animation-like hyper-reality, and inspired by a 1997 real-life murder of an elementary school student by a 14-year-old boy, Gold Rush, a phenomenal bestseller in Japan, is a graphic, violent, controversial novel of the corruption of modern Japan and its youth. Welcome Rain's translation of Gold Rush marks the first time any of Miri Yu's works are available in English.
