Forlagsbeskrivelse af The Fairley Brothers in Japan af DAVID STARKEY
From the author of Poor Ghost comes a poignant road trip novel following two middle-aged brothers, Chris and Andy Fairley, as they attempt an unlikely musical comeback in Japan. Chris and Andy Fairley couldn"™t be more opposite"”Chris, an uptight, ever-pessimist, and Andy, a go-with-the-flow hopeful. Their glory days seemed long behind them since their moderate success as a folk-rock duo and their relationship with each other fizzled out in the mid-1980s. But when their hit song is unexpectedly chosen for a Japanese car commercial, the men are given one last shot to revive their fame and friendship. They embark on a tour across Japan, but soon find their venues are far from glamorous: a wedding reception where they''re asked to play their hit on repeat, a flower farm gift shop, a windy sculpture park, and a restaurant where customers catch their own fish. As tensions between the brothers rise and a strange reporter begins following them all around the country, the men aren"™t sure if the band or their relationship will survive. With echoes of Andrew Sean Greer"™s Less, The Fairley Brothers in Japan is a gently comic exploration of aging, family, and belonging. It"™s a tale of two brothers, not just hitting the road, but rediscovering themselves along the way.
