From the author often dubbed the American Murakami comes a hypnotic mix of rock n' roll, familial obsessions and an alternative American history. SHADOWBAHN takes place in a world in which, one afternoon in the not too distant future, the Twin Towers suddenly appear in the middle of the Dakota Badlands. Tens of thousands converge on what one newsmagazine calls the American Stonehenge, as strange musical visions manifest themselves in a kind of sonic rorschach. Living alone inside the South Tower is Jesse Garon Presley (who happens to be Elvis's twin brother) who watches the North Tower for signs of life -- when the tower's whole point is its emptiness -- and is haunted by the voice in his head of another America, where his despised, stillborn twin survived in his place and became the most famous singer of all time.
