Detalles de producto
- Terminal Boredom is a collection of stories by Izumi Suzuki, a legendary Japanese science fiction writer and countercultural icon.
- These stories have a nonchalantly hip and charmingly deranged quality that has influenced authors like Margaret Atwood and Harumi Murakami, as well as TV shows like Black Mirror and movies like Ex Machina.
- The stories strike a balance between fantastical elements and the gritty reality of everyday life, especially in relation to the conflicts between genders.
- The book is translated into English by a team of talented translators including Polly Barton, Sam Bett, David Boyd, Daniel Joseph, Aiko Masubuchi, and Helen O'Horan.
- It has been highly anticipated and recognized by publications like Thrillist, The Millions, Frieze, and Metropolis Japan as one of the most anticipated books of 2021.
- Terminal Boredom offers a unique and punky take on speculative fiction, making it a must-read for fans of the genre.
