Tokyo Vertigo is the first book to catch all of the sensations of Tokyo: its vast avenues and building masses, and its concurrent cultures of sex, death and ecstasy.??The book explores Tokyo as a vast compendium of visual gestures, images and texts. Moving from district to district-from wild Shinjuku to the austere Imperial Palace-it vividly tracks the exhilarating impact of the city as seen on the faces of its innumerable human denizens.??Illustrated by over 20 revelatory photographs from Romain Slocombe, Nobuyoshi Araki and Eikoh Hosoe, Tokyo Vertigo will appeal not only to fans of Japanese culture, but to all readers engaged with the fascination of cities, with contemporary global culture, and with travel writing at its most new and innovative.??

Sex clubs and hostess bars, love hotels and soap parlours, fetish parties and porno factories-photographer Romain Slocombe, a frequent visitor to Japan in recent years, has documented every aspect of this scene. Bondage models, porn actresses, prostitutes and party girls are featured in over 80 revealing photographs.??Tokyo Sex Underground is a sometimes poignant, always provocative collection of Slocombe's images, forming probably the most fascinating glimpse of Japanese erotic culture ever provided by an outsider.??Romain Slocombe's other photographic collections include City Of The Broken Dolls (Creation Books, 1997). He has also directed several films about Japan, and his graphic novel Prisoner Of The Red Army is now acknowledged as an S/M classic.??With an introduction by Peter Sotos.

"Probably one of the most significant novels of this year."—L'Express"As soon as you open Monsieur Le Commandant you will not be able to put it down, such is Slocombe's affinity for his subject matter. . . . His virtuosity and manner of storytelling reveal true talent. . . . Go out and buy a copy of Monsieur Le Commandant as soon as you can. Read it; you'll be glad you did."—Le Point"The novel is, in a unique way, a powerful piece of Resistance literature."—La VieFrench Academician and Nazi sympathizer Paul-Jean Husson writes a letter to his local SS officer in the autumn of 1942.Tormented by an illicit passion for Ilse, his German daughter-in-law, Husson has made a decision that will devastate several lives, including his own.The letter is intended to explain his actions. It is a dramatic, sometimes harrowing story that begins in the years leading up to the war, when following the accidental drowning of his daughter, Husson's previously gilded life begins to unravel.And through Husson's confession, Romain Slocombe gives the reader a startling picture of a man's journey: from pillar of the French Establishment and World War One hero to outspoken supporter of Nazi ideology and the Vichy government.Romain Slocombe is a writer, director, translator, illustrator, cartoonist, and photographer. He was born in Paris in 1953.
