Description
Terminal Boredom Stories by Izumi Suzuki is a darkly playful and punky collection of short stories that explore the universal pettiness of strife between the sexes, and the gritty reality of life on the lower rungs.
Translated from Japanese, these fantastical tales are grounded in the everyday struggles of human relationships, set against a backdrop of speculative fiction that would later influence many notable authors and works.
First published in English in 2021, this is the first translation of Suzuki's work into the language, offering a unique glimpse into the mind of a Japanese science fiction legend and countercultural icon.
