Izumi Suzuki: Terminal Boredom

[Late]

This is a collection of short stories, so not really "Jazz in Print," but Suzuki was famously married to Kaoru Abe, so, tangentially I suppose, related to jazz. It's classified as "science fiction" — think Philip K. Dick — but I think it fits just as well in the larger genre of literary fiction. The translations are excellent here. I wanted to give the book a warm recommendation (even if I misplaced such a recommendation) in this forum. While most these stories were written over 40 years ago, they feel timely today.

Thanks. I'm certainly interested, and will look into picking this up.

I'm still rewatching that Keijo Haino shoot interview that someone posted a couple of months ago.
