Description
Eleven surreal tales from the winner of the Akutagawa Prize and the Kenzaburo Oe Prize, Yukiko Motoya, explore the bizarre and the grotesque in contemporary Japan.
In these stories, individuals from ordinary lives are confronted with the strange and the unknown, leading to unexpected transformations and liberations.
From a housewife's radical body transformation to a boy's discovery of the secret to flying, and a saleswoman's endless wait for a mysterious customer, Motoya's fiction is a journey into the fantastical and the alien.
