In the aftermath of World War II, Kuki Kyuzo, a Japanese youth
raised in the puppet state of Manchuria, struggles to return home
to Japan. What follows is a wild journey involving drugs,
smuggling, chases, and capture. Kyuzo finally makes his way to the
waters off Japan but finds himself unable to disembark. His nation
remains inaccessible to him, and now he questions its very
existence. Beasts Head for Home is an acute novel of identity,
belonging, and the vagaries of human behavior from an exceptional
modern Japanese author.
