Hi all,
I have to compare The Road by Cormac McCathy to a book of my choice. I’d like to do a book set in Japan or China as they are generally my special interest at the moment and I’d have a lot to say, but the book’s first language has to be in English. IT CANNOT BE A TRANSLATED BOOK.
The themes should be mostly around masculinity, fatherhood, humanity and violence (dystopian and gothic often work well too)
If you have any suggestions for me I’d massively appreciate it because I’m struggling to find anything

The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell
An Artist of the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro
When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro. One of my favorite authors!
Does Neuromancer count? The first part technically takes place in Japan, but it doesn’t really feel like it because, you know, it’s cyberpunk.
