A boy waits at a bus stop, mocking businessmen struggling to keep their umbrellas open in a typhoonuntil an old man shows him that they hold the secret to flying. A woman working in a clothing boutique waits endlessly on a customer who won't come out of the fitting roomand who may or may not be human. A newlywed notices that her husband's features are beginning to slide around his faceto match her own.In these eleven stories, the individuals who lift the curtains of their orderly homes and workplaces are confronted with the bizarre, the grotesque, the fantastic, the alienand, through it, find a way to liberation. The Lonesome Bodybuilder is the English-language debut of one of Japan's most fearlessly inventive young writers.
