The Tatami Time Machine Blues: A Novel

In the boiling heat of summer, a broken remote control for an air conditioner threatens life as we know it in this reality-bending, time-slipping sequel to The Tatami Galaxy. During a scorching August in Kyoto, our protagonist and his worst friend, Ozu, are locked in a glaring contest in a four-and-a-half-tatami-mat room. Ozu has spilled Coke on the air conditioner’s remote control—the only AC in Shimogamo Yusuisuiso, their famously shabby sweatbox of an apartment building. Vengeful and despairing, our protagonist discusses countermeasures with his secret crush, the reliably blunt Akashi, when Tamura, a strange young man with a bad haircut, appears.Tamura claims to be a time traveler from 25 years in the future, and shows off the time machine he uses to travel. Our protagonist has a brilliant idea: the sweetest revenge would be to go back one day in time and retrieve the functioning remote control. His simple fix is complicated by Ozu and several others who are also eager to take a ride back in time. But in attempting to alter the past, our protagonist foresees the world's extinction. Even more troublingly, Akashi mentions she’s bringing someone to the upcoming bonfire . . . and it's not him. Only one thing remains certain: it's going to be a very long month.Obliteration? Salvation? Coca-Cola? Castella cake? What does the time machine hold for our (not quite) heroes? It all depends on which one gets there first.Translated from the Japanese by Emily Balistrieri

Tatlı Kız

Bu kitap, potensiyel olarak ölümcül bir kalp rahatsızlığı olan Uzun QT Sendromunu (UQTS) anlatıyor. Hem kendisinin hem de kızının bu hastalığı asemptomatik olarak taşıması ile, yazar Alatorre okuyucuya, ailede olup bitenleri bazen bir mizah içinde bazen de esinlendirici olarak sunuyor. Bunu yaparken de, kendi kızının etkinlikleri ve günlük yaşamı içine, UQTS ile savaşan diğer insanların öykülerini de serpiştirerek süslüyor. Bu insanların UQTS'li olduklarını nasıl öğrendikleri, bu hastalıkla nasıl uğraştıkları ve yaşamlarını nasıl sürdürdükleri akıcı bir dille anlatılıyor. Bu hastalığı taşıyan kimi insanların, hastalığı taşıdıklarının farkına bile varmadan yaşamlarını normal bir şekilde sürdürüyorlar veya bu hastalıktan ölüp gidiyor. Bazılarına tesadüf eseri UQTS tanısı konuyor ve ilaç ve cihazlarla yaşamlarına devam ediyor. Diğer bazılarının da öbür dünyaya çok kısa ziyaret ettikten sonra geri döndürülüyorlar, büyük ızdıraplardan sonra tanılanabiliyor ve devamında yaşamlarını sürdürüyor. Yazar, bütün bunları, insanların bir mayın tarlasından geçip gitmelerine benzetiyor. Yazarın benzetmesine göre insanlar, mayınlı arazide olduklarını bilmeden geçerken, tesadüfen kıllarına zarar gelmeden geçip gidiyor veya bazıları mayına basıp ölebiliyor, diğer bazıları yaralı olarak kurtuluyor ve bazı müdahalelerle yaşamlarını sürdürüyorlar.Bu hastalığı taşıyan insanlara, potensiyel olarak ölümcül bir hastalık olmasına rağmen, UQTS tanısı konmasının bir umut ışığı olduğunu belirterek kendilerinin şanslı olduklarının altı çiziliyor. Bunu, yaşamı sürdürmek için, tanısı konularak sorunun ne olduğunu bilmek hiç bilmemekten çok daha iyi seçim olduğunu belirterek onların daha mutlu bir yaşam sürdürmeleri için cesaret veriyor.

On vanity economics: "The worse a town's economy is, the better looking the guys who work at the local gas station are." Evocative black and white photos showcase the wisdom in style.
