Please observe the bumping rules for this folder:15. Bump frequency: If some time has passed and your post has not had a reply, "bumping" it up the list is a good idea. A good guidelines is to bump requests for Adding New Books & Editions after a week has passed since your original post, and 48 hours for all other requests. To do this, just post a reply in the same thread. Please do not start a duplicate thread, which is confusing. Please do not bump your thread if only a few hours have passed. For posts in the 'Looking for a Project?' folder, bumping every one to two weeks is best.

* Description: "För huvudpersonen i Frans Wachtmeisters nya roman har tillvaron gått i stå. Hans japanska flickvän har lämnat honom, och när han till sist också förlorar sitt jobb som headhunter börjar han förbereda sig för slutet. I sällskap av en misslyckad buddhistskulptör lever han ett skuggliv i Tokyos utkanter, där han ömsom accepterar sitt öde, ömsom kämpar emot det. Hans Japan blir trängre, alltmer fientligt, och driver honom snart till ett sista förtvivlat försök att återfå sin förlorade gunst.
Med samma cyniska blick på såväl Asien som sin egen kontinent skriver Frans Wachtmeister ur européens perspektiv om identitet, ånger och skuld, och presenterar också en teori om kärlekens geografi i en global tidsålder.
English: "For the protagonist in Frans Wachtmeister's new novel, life has come to a standstill. His Japanese girlfriend has left him, and when he eventually loses his job as a headhunter, he begins to prepare for the end. Accompanied by a failed Buddhist sculptor, he lives a shadow life on the outskirts of Tokyo, where he sometimes accepts his fate and sometimes fights against it. His Japan becomes narrower, increasingly hostile, and soon drives him to a last desperate attempt to regain his lost favor.
With the same cynical view of both Asia and his own continent, Frans Wachtmeister writes from a European perspective about identity, regret, and guilt, and also presents a theory about the geography of love in a global age."
