Rt dirty realism part fairy tale Vibrator is a disturbing and highly original novel about the strange situations that life can put you in Exploring themes of liberation and entrapment it drives unflinchingly at the lonely heart of the lost generatio. My review from first thing to say this is much of what it looks like It's not some sordid fifty shades of grey thing going on here well maybe a wee bit but that's not what it is about The name of the book doesn't even refer to the friendly lady appliance but rather to the vibrations of a truck cab that is kept running day and night in which much of the story is setThe focus of the book is dark as it explores topics such as Alcoholism Bulimia Consumerism Depression women’s magazines consumer culture high school prostitution gangs and drugs It is set in the head of the journalist Rei Hayakawa and her often intense narrative which is a fight between all the voices in her head sets the pace for the book which is often frantic and disturbing Her intense self loathing makes it hard to spend 130 pages in her head She feels unable to connect with the outside world and appears to be drowning in her depressionLate one night she wanders the aisle of her local convenience store picking up the night’s supply of alcohol white wine and gin Yet when she turns the corner and sees Okabe a 26 year old trucker and ex thug in overalls and yellow boots she follows him out to his long haul truck thus starting their eventual journey up and down a snowy JapanThe voices in Rei's head don't seem to allow her to operate with any form of coherent thought and often leave her struggling to move let alone rational thought“when I attempted to make my feet move my fingers might start twitching or somethingthe commands and the actions were getting muddled”These voices are constantly at war with Rei and as a result anything that she thinks gets over played in her mind over thought and as a result analyzed by her to the nth degree This makes the few times where there is actual dialogue spoke by the two characters a refreshing and sometimes necessary break from Rei's over active brainThe book is about two random people connecting and this is shown throughout the book in the metaphor of the CB radio something that is constantly receiving messages from random people regardless of distance apart but based on the strength of their signalRei and Okabe are two such signals joined together There's no reason for them to be together but they have formed this bond in this time and place people who have caught each others signals and vibrations for a sort timeWhat starts as a critiue of Modern Consumerism ends as much personal saga or as much as you can get of one through the medium of Rei's addled thoughtsA very good but dark book Well worth a read and yes there is even a wee bit of hanky panky75 out of 10

This book was interesting I am a junkie for Japanese fiction so I of course has to read this when I saw it It was a short read It wasn’t what I expected but not in a good or bad way I enjoyed the book and I recommend it to those who like Japanese fiction and possibly unconventional relationships and writing styles I found the writing style very interesting as it was like nothing I read before The lines were very blurred between thoughts and conversations It had also most a surrealist vibe to it which I think I actually really enjoyed I definitely recommend this
