Tokyo Redux by David Peace available August 2021

[miyakoji]

This is a book that caught my attention, it's historical fiction that's apparently partially based on the death of Sadanori Shimoyama, the first president of JNR (link below).  I thought this was going to be released last year, but I guess corona got in the way.  The publisher's link below has a date of August 10, 2021.

I had forgotten about Shimoyana. Seemed like odd things going on, but with things with little surviving evidence the speculation always fuels all sorts of stuff. Hard to ever know the truth then.
