<DIV><DIV><b>&ldquo;If you read one philosophical-doomsday kinky-sex road-trip novel this year, make it this one.&rdquo; &mdash;<i>Salon</i></b></div><DIV><BR>It&rsquo;s New Year&rsquo;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&rsquo; stories in a &ldquo;memory hotel&rdquo; 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&rsquo;s most impressive visions to date.<BR></div></div>
