The Sleeping Dragon ReviewThis novel is a fascinating mix of logical and supra rational happenings. As in real life, the reader is not quite sure where events are leading or what they mean. But in the end all the oddball strands of the plot come together with elegant inevitability.
The narrator Shogo Kosaka, in his early thirties, has already had reversals and grown a bit cynical. His fiancé dumped him for embarrassing reasons, and he got demoted as a result. Now he's an investigative reporter for a second-rate magazine. But Kosaka hides a good heart and a courageous spirit behind his wisecracks.
One night in a typhoon someone removes a manhole cover, and a little boy goes missing, probably drowned. Kosaka, driving home through the storm, gives a lift to sixteen-year-old Shinji Inamura. Shinji seems suspiciously knowledgeable about the incident. Finally he confesses to Kosaka that he's psychic. He wants Kosaka to help him find the culprits.
Kosaka has a hard time believing in Shinji's powers, particularly when Shinji turns out to have a friend who's also psychic. While Kosaka wavers between belief and fear of fakery, he's also dealing with a mystery at the office, where he's getting anonymous blank letters and threatening phone calls.
The quirky plot includes a poignant romance for Kosaka and plenty of challenges for Shinji's impulsive idealism.
The title comes from a comment by a wise old policeman: "...we all have a dragon inside us, with strange and unlimited powers. Sometimes the dragon is asleep, and other times it's awake..."
Miyuki Miyabe is highly original writer. She always delivers a gripping story and, as a bonus, brings us inside the psyche of contemporary Japan. No need to read her books in order; each stands on its own. This is a particularly good one.The Sleeping Dragon Overview
