Salmonella Men on Planet Porno by Yasutaka Tsutsui
The folly of human desire is a central theme of the author's stories. He cites his influences as Darwin, Freud and the Marx Brothers, which in turn lead to a mixture of pathos, psychological insight and slapstick in his writing, shot through with Kafka-esque inventiveness.
Born in Osaka, Yasutaka Tsutsui is particularly well known for his science fiction. After graduating from Doshisha University, he founded NULL, a science fiction magazine. His short story O-tasuke (Help) won him the recognition and respect of Rampo Edogawa,'the father of Japanese mystery writing'. In 1970s Tsutsui began experimenting in a variety of styles, from slapstick and black humor to various kinds of metafiction. Winner of various awards including Izumi Kyoka Prize, Kawabata Prize and Yomiuri Literary Prize, he was decorated as a Chevalier des Arts and des Lettres by the French government.
