    <body><![CDATA[Seamy is all right when it's backed up by gritty detail, but this entertaining but slight sociological foray into many of Japan's disaffected youth scenes wants all of the grime with none of the shoe leather. In its style and narrative, it's more William Gibson than Donald Richie. I love William Gib...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78318624">more...</a>]]></body>

It was meant to chart young Japan after the economic bubble of the 1980s popped and left their parents wondering why they weren't rich anymore.
