With a strong focus on the aesthetics of the era and the psychological ramifications for the narrator and his unorthodox family. Children of the Neon Bamboo is about meeting Arthur Regulski for a night of drinks, cigarettes, and good stories out back by the pool in the yard of a weird creative studio where he sews a grand, singular tapestry of aesthetics, history, and characters-- a wild, meandering, chill, and exhilarating story that bobs and weaves across the human experience, always with a sense of humor, never taking itself or the world too seriously.

Wryly surreal Funny and serious at the same time, a Gen-Xer stumbles through his retelling of the wild, summer adventure of 1990 when in the pursuit of the new Sega Genesis he and a friend entangle themselves in a cross-country fight over a long-lost ancient samurai sword, connecting memorable characters from across history with the aesthetics of the era. Refugees, ninjas, nerds, musicians, soldiers, Dungeon Masters, Karate instructors, and beauticians come together for a curious blend of 80s Japanese influenced pop culture and Mid-American grunge. Mountain Dew Moby Dick, literary vaporwave, high-topped Hunter S. Thompson, Taco Bell Tom Sawyer.
