In these lazy days of conformity and censorship, David Peace continues to experiment and excite. Tokyo Redux represents another peak in a genuinely diverse and original body of work. This is hard-hitting, hypnotic, committed storytelling from a master craftsman. His words flow through a maze the reader will never want to leave. And in this case never will.
