Coin Locker Babies

in plainest terms, this was a car crash i couldn't help but rubberneck at. i think much of it was controversial and abrasive for the sake of it, rather than to drive the plot along in any meaningful way. wildly descriptive—so much so that many passages made me feel physically ill. it's a miracle i managed to slough through this

Two babies are left in a Tokyo station coin locker and survive against the odds, but their lives are forever tainted by this inauspicious start. As they grow up, they join the ranks of Toxitown: a district of addicts, freaks and prostitutes. One becomes a bisexual rock star and looks for his mother, while the other one, an athlete, seeks revenge. This savage story unfolds in a surrealistic whirl of violence.
