The Bells of Old Tokyo

Picador, 2019. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 336. In The bells of old Tokyo, Anna Sherman explores Japan and revels in all its wonderful particularity. As a foreigner living in Tokyo, Sherman's account takes pleasure and fascination in the history and culture of a country that can seem startlingly strange to an outsider. Following her search for the lost bells of the city the bells by which its inhabitants kept time before the Jesuits introduced them to clocks to her personal friendship with the owner of a small, exquisite cafe, who elevates the making and drinking of coffee to an art-form, here is Tokyo in its bewildering variety. From the love hotels of Shinjuku to the appalling fire-storms of 1945 (in which many more thousands of people died than in Hiroshima or Nagasaki), from the death of Mishima to the impact of the Tohoku earthquake of 2011.

Reservaatblues

Anthos, 2000. Paperback. Pp: 287. Thomas Builds-the-Fire is de verhalenverteller van een Spokane-indianenstam maar helaas wil niemand naar hem luisteren. Op een dag ontmoet Thomas de man die hem een nieuw doel in zijn leven biedt: de legendarische blueszanger en gitarist Robert Johnson, die naar men zegt zijn ziel aan de duivel verkocht in ruil voor zijn geniale gitaarspel. Johnson vertelt Thomas dat hij zijn dood in 1938 in scène heeft gezet om de duivel te misleiden. Hij is op zoek naar Big Mom, een Mysterieuze indiaanse vrouw die hem zal helpen van zijn zestig jaar geleden gesloten pact met de duivel af te komen. Johnson laat zijn gitaar achter voor Thomas, die met zijn vrienden een all-Indian blues & rock-'n-roll band begint: de Coyote Springs. Aanvankelijk speelt de groep in kleine cafés en buurthuizen, maar uiteindelijk gaat Coyote Springs op tournee, waar ze te maken krijgt met groupies en blanke publiciteitsbonzen van platenmaatschappijen. Dan blijkt of Thomas en zijn vrienden, net als Robert Johnson, in ruil voor succes een pact niet de duivel moeten sluiten. ISBN: 9789041404466. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
