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.
