“Coin Locker Babies” contains some of the strongest visual evocations I came to read in a novel. Probably because I’m from that generation who experience a morbid fascination for urban ruins and waste lands. Is it the Island where Kiku and Hashi are raised, its abandoned mine and deserted town ? Is it this flat in Tokyo where a crocodile is locked in ? Or probably this solid and wildly dyed vision of Toxitown ? Wikipedia mentions some interesting side facts : “Coin Locker Babies” was the original name of this grand group “The Pillows”. The authors of “Silent Hill 4” might have found they inspiration is the novel. |
