Terminal Boredom

Speculative fiction short stories by a mid-20th century feminist Japanese performance artist and writer…what’s not to like? Well, the writing, that’s what. I found myself consistently interested in the ideas but bored by the actual writing. Characters were hollow vehicles for ideas and plot and I just could not get into it.

A solid consistent collection of muted set pieces on losing or ceding control of your mind or your volition, with characters alternately bored or terrified at the prospect.

Kudos to Verso for translating them.
