A new collection of stories from the cult author of Terminal Boredom.
Izumi Suzuki had ideas about doing things differently, ideas that paid little attention to the laws of physics, or the laws of the land. In this new collection, her skewed imagination distorts and enhances some of the classic concepts of science fiction and fantasy.
A philandering husband receives a bestial punishment from a wife with her own secrets to keep; a music lover finds herself in a timeline both familiar and as wrong as can be; a misfit band of space pirates discover a mysterious baby among the stars; Emma, the Bovary-like character from one of Suzuki's stories in Terminal Boredom, lands herself in a bizarre romantic pickle.
Wryly anarchic and deeply imaginative, Suzuki was a writer like no other. These eleven stories offer readers the opportunity to delve deeper in this singular writer's work.

while i don't think these are the best written or most innovative stories in the world, i can't help by find suzuki's writing to be infinitely charming. odd and bizarre and kinda like a fever dream. really enjoyed the sci-fi elements and the fact that you never really know what’s going on. i also think it's really cool that she unabashedly just writes weird plots and settings, and makes absolutely no effort to explain them at all. ultimately found some of the stories hard to grasp tho :( would have to reread them
