Spark
Naoki Matayoshi, Alison Watts (translation)Hilarious, strange & moving in equal measure – a Japanese multi-million-copy smash hit about the struggles of a pair of young manzai stand-up comedians
Tokunaga is a young comedian struggling to make a name for himself when he is taken under the wing of Kamiya, who is either a crazy genius or perhaps just crazy. Kamiya’s indestructible confidence inspires Tokunaga, but it also makes him doubt the limits of his own talent, & dedication to Manzai comedy.
Spark is a story about art & friendship, about countless bizarre drunken conversations & how far it’s acceptable to go for a laugh. A novel about comedy that’s as moving & thoughtful as it is funny, it’s already been a sensation in Japan.
