Ming blazes his way across the West, settling old scores with a single-minded devotion that culminates in an explosive and unexpected finale.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Written with the violent ardor of Cormac McCarthy and the otherworldly inventiveness of Ted Chiang, ＜em＞The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu＜/em＞ is at once a thriller, a romance, and a story of one man's quest for redemption in the face of a distinctly American brutality.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"In Tom Lin's novel, the atmosphere of Cormac McCarthy's West, or that of the Coen Brothers' ＜em＞True Grit＜/em＞, gives way to the phantasmagorical shades of Ray Bradbury, Charles Finney's ＜em＞The Circus of Dr. Lao＜/em＞, and Katherine Dunn's ＜em＞Geek Love＜/em＞. Yet ＜em＞The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu＜/em＞ has a velocity and perspective all its own, and is a fierce new version of the Westward Dream." ーJonathan Lethem, author of ＜em＞Motherless Brooklyn＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
