Half the chapters are set in Tokyo, where the narrator negotiates underground worlds populated by INKlings, dodges opponents of both sides of a raging high-tech infowar, and engages in an affair with a beautiful librarian with a gargantuan appetite. In alternating chapters he tries to reunite with his mind and his shadow, from which he has been severed by the grim, dark "replacement" consciousness implanted in him by a dotty neurophysiologist. Both worlds share the unearthly theme of unicorn skulls that moan and glow. 000760475 650_0 $$aJapanese fiction$$vTranslations into English. 000760475 655_7 $$aFantasy fiction.$$2lcgft 000760475 655_7 $$aExperimental fiction.$$2lcgft 000760475 85200 $$bgen$$hPL856.U673$$iS4513$$i1993 000760475 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/random043/92056345.html 000760475 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:760475$$pGLOBAL_SET 000760475 980__ $$aBIB 000760475 980__ $$aBOOK
