The first English-language publication of the work of Izumi Suzuki, a legend of Japanese science-fiction and a countercultural icon.

At turns nonchalantly hip and charmingly deranged, Suzuki's singular slant on speculative fiction would be echoed in countless later works, from Margaret Atwood and Harumi Murakami, to Black Mirror and Ex Machina. In these darkly playful and punky stories, the fantastical elements are always earthed by the universal pettiness of strife between the sexes, and the gritty reality of life on the lower rungs, whatever planet that ladder might be on.

Translated by Polly Barton, Sam Bett, David Boyd, Daniel Joseph, Aiko Masubuchi, and Helen O'Horan.

Unsure what went wrong here, if it was the performance, the translation, the writing or all three.

Good ideas, poor execution

Let me first say that I LOVE the narration, I really want to listen to more Cindy Kay soon.
Okay, this collection of stories is so so so ahead of its time. Seriously!

Obsessed- well worth reading!

Story nr.1
World ruled by woman. Yet instead of having anything different they take on the mental superiority mindstance of current day patriarchic men.
Normalizing rape is what this was giving me (can’t explain cause hate spoilers).
Reads like it was written by a male incel.

Story 2. Again two woman taking the main characters. Yet again, now the main character whose thoughts you follow seems deeply mysogonist. Basically mimicking the thoughts you’d expect from that gaslighting toxic boyfriend you’re happy you got away from.

Halfway through collection.
More and more convinced the writer is a socio/psychopath not capable of thinking as empathic individuals do. Ironically that is making it more and more fascinating. Less mysogonist than I expected, just psychopathic as a whole.

All in all mainly frustrating

Psychopathic main characters

addiction, apathy and other themes...but in space...as a scifi short story collection, and, unfortunately, i felt that was unnecessary and actually detracted from the message.

not for me
