About This Book
The narrator is a college graduate who for several years has been
futilely looking for a job, still living near his alma mater. Nothing
works, nothing interests him, and all he does every day is to surf the
Internet at home or to send resumes in response to advertisements for
workers. After spending a night with a student at his alma mater whom he
meets for the first time at a bar along with others, he accidentally
hears a rumor about “Bukowski,” who supposedly closes his shop and
disappears on rainy days. The protagonist then returns home to tell
“Turtle,” the student who has now settled herself in, of this mysterious
personage. This leads to an odd search on a long summer day, as absurd
as an idle joke. While the narrator chases after “Bukowski,” he is soon
shadowed by yet another person. What is the meaning of all this search?
Does this world mean anything to any of these characters?
Based on a witty and sprightly conception and a unique style, this work
recounts the story of young people in this age of mass youth
unemployment, an era with only loss and no growth. The first novel by a
budding writer, it captivates an imagined reality with an unparalleled
style without falling into rash anger or easy resignation.
