HIDEO YOKOYAMA: SIX FOUR
The University of Hong Kong, Wang Gungwu Theatre, Southern District 
Why We Recommend it
In this talk organised by the Hong Kong International Literary Festival (HKILF), Japanese novelist Hideo Yokoyama talks to Yoshiko Nakano—Assistant Professor in the Department of Japanese Studies at the University of Hong Kong—about his career and the success of his latest novel, Six Four.
Description
When Six Four was released in Yokoyama’s home country, Japan, it became a publishing phenomenon, selling a million copies in six days and making the author one of the country’s most famous crime writers. As much a penetrating exploration of the Japanese psyche as a “Japano-Noir” police procedural about kidnappings and cover-ups, Six Four is now, following its English translation, also making huge waves worldwide.
In this special talk, Hideo Yokoyama will discuss the success of his novel and his career with scholar and editor Yoshiko Nakano.
