Synopsis

A new collection of stories from the cult author of Terminal Boredom

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; idle high school students find adventure in another dimension but aren't all that impressed; 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 listeners the opportunity to delve deeper in this singular writer's work.

About Izumi Suzuki

Izumi Suzuki (1949-1986) was a writer, actress, model, and a countercultural icon in Japan. In the last decade of her life she produced an influential body of radical, punky, and groundbreaking fiction.

Goodreads review by Queralt✨ on May 15, 2024

Like Terminal Boredom: Stories, Hit Parade of Tears is a collection of short stories you read for the vibe and not precisely for entertainment. This collection is less sci-fi leaning and includes some stories that are fantasy, it’s also feminist and LGBTQIA+. Also, this is not going to make sense, b......more
