Beschreibung
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.

Audiobook. This didn't reach me. The first story was good, the rest I think was confusing. Also MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING: there are a lot of comments about weight and bodyshape. I want to give some examples, so if you are triggered by comments about appearance and weight, I suggest stop reading now. ----- "Her butt was gigantic! Way out of proportion with the rest of her body. […] That girl was totally normal. She didn't have criminally bad taste or anything, she just did't have the body to pull out that outfit." "Skinny as a twig, too. But you've gotta be pretty skinny to pull off frilly shirts and polka dot ties." "Guess I've always been a light eater, that's why I am this skinny and I don't wanna get fat. Fat people gross me out. Last thing I wanna do is end up gross, if you know what I mean. I can still wear the pant I've bought when I was 25! I've got amazing self-control." "I was always sweating. Dragging all this excess fat around with me." "Guess some people are just born with little short legs. But no need to flant them on TV, why would you embarrass yourself like that?" "These days she was constantly eating, no longer a bit concerned about getting fat." "You've put on some weight, the skinny girl said. Yeah, but there is a reason, the fat girl was fidgeting with her napkin. Why don't you go on a diet? There is a reason, the fat one repeated patiently. The skinny one started applying some lipstick."
