Comme une ondée fraîche, comme un air fredonné ou quelques pas esquissés, Kyoko est passée, impalpable et fragile. Ky-o-ko, trois sons brefs et chantants qui résonnent avant de prendre leur envol. Kyoko, le visage lisse et blanc qu'un sourire illumine, autre gracieuse ingénue, autre nymphette moins sulfureuse celle-là. Kyoko, figure d'ailleurs, étrangère à tout et à tous mais surtout à elle-même. Venue du Japon... de bien plus loin encore ? Kyoko est un ange déchu, arrivée parmi les hommes, les parias, les exclus, les ratés, les métisses, les homos, les malades, les damnés de la Terre. Dans cet infini cloaque, elle est un souffle de vie forcené, un irrémédiable espoir. Son monde n'est pas peuplé de saints, encore moins de maudits, elle y a aboli les notions de bien et de mal, car elle tend vers un unique but servi par une farouche obstination, celui de se reconnaître pour s'accepter enfin. --Lenaïc Gravis & Jocelyn Blériot

About the author

Ryū Murakami (村上 龍) is a Japanese novelist and filmmaker. He is not related to Haruki Murakami or Takashi Murakami.
Murakami's first work, the short novel Almost Transparent Blue, written while he was still a student, deals with promiscuity and drug use among disaffected Japanese youth. Critically acclaimed as a new style of literature, it won the newcomer's literature prize in 1976 despite some observers decrying it as decadent. Later the same year, Blue won the Akutagawa Prize, going on to become a best seller. In 1980, Murakami published the much longer novel Coin Locker Babies, again to critical acclaim.
Takashi Miike's feature film Audition (1999) was based on one of his novels. Murakami reportedly liked it so much he gave Miike his blessing to adapt Coin Locker Babies. The screen play was worked on by director Jordan Galland. However, Miike could not raise funding for the project. An adaptation directed by Michele Civetta is currently in production.
Murakami has played drums for a rock group called Coelacanth and hosted a TV talk show.
