A housewife takes up bodybuilding and sees radical changes to her physique - which her workaholic husband fails to notice. A boy waits at a bus stop, mocking businessmen struggling to keep their umbrellas open in a typhoon - until an old man shows him that they hold the secret to flying. A woman waits endlessly on a customer who won't come out of the fitting room - and who may or may not be human. Eleven surreal tales by one of Japan's most fearlessly inventive young writers.
