Battle Royale by Koushun Takami

This book is a new translation by Nathan Collins. It was first published in Japan in 1999 and is a runaway bestseller. Battle Royale is a lord of the flies for the 21st century. A potent allegory of what it means to be young and (barely) alive in a dog-eat-dog world, Battle Royale is the kind of novel that made the same contemporary Japanese pulp classic. Now available in a new English-language translation.
