Description:
<DIV><DIV><b>“If you read one philosophical-doomsday kinky-sex road-trip novel this year, make it this one.” —<i>Salon</i></b></div><DIV><BR>It’s New Year’s Eve 1999, and the members of a powerful cult are about to commit ritual suicide. Fleeing their ranks at the final moment, teenager Kristin lands in Tokyo, where she gains employment listening to clients’ stories in a “memory hotel” designed to address the decay of Japanese collective memory after the Second World War. But Kristin herself has a startling odyssey: Among other things, it involves answering a personal ad only to wind up imprisoned, naked, in an empty house presided over by a man known as the Occupant, hard at work on a millennial calendar that has serious implications for the future. <i>The Sea Came in at Midnight</i> is a breathtaking fable of redemption and one of Erickson’s most impressive visions to date.<BR></div></div>
