Salmonella Men on Planet Porno (Vintage Contemporaries)

Salmonella Men on Planet Porno (Vintage Contemporaries)

An irresistible mix of imagination, satire, and humor, these stories by acclaimed Japanese author Yasutaka Tsutsui imagine the consequences of a world where the fantastic and the mundane collide.
Â
The opening story, â€œThe Dabba Dabba Tree,â€ details the hilarious side effects of a small conical tree that, when placed at the foot of oneâ€™s bed, creates erotic dreams. In â€œCommuter Army,â€ a sly commentary on the ludicrousness of war, a weapons supplier becomes an unwilling conscript in a war zone. â€œThe World is Tiltingâ€ imagines a floating city that slowly begins to sink on one side, causing its citizens to reorient their daily lives to preserve a semblance of normality. And in the title story, we see how obscenely absurd the environment on Planet Porno appears to a group of scientists. The stories in Salmonella Men on Planet Porno winningly combine madcap hilarity and a sharp eye toward the insanities of contemporary life.
