Mitch and Yonko haven’t spoken in a year.
As children, they were inseparable, raised together in an orphanage outside Tokyo – but ever since the sudden death of Mitch’s brother, they’ve been mourning in their private ways, worlds apart.
In the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe, they choose to reunite, finding each other in a city undone by disaster.
Mitch and Yonko have drifted apart, but they will always be bound together.
Because long ago they witnessed an unspeakable tragedy, a tragedy that they’ve kept secret for their entire lives.
They never speak of it, but it’s all around them.
Like history, it repeats itself.
Yuko Tsushima’s sweeping and consuming novel is a metaphysical saga of postwar Japan.
Wildcat Dome is a hugely ambitious exploration of denial, of the ways in which countries and their citizens avoid telling the truth – a tale of guilt, loss, and inevitable reckoning.
‘Tsushima evades any label, her fiction transcends gender to focus on the existential loneliness that is at the heart of humanity’ – Japan Times
