What happens when a clinic prescribes rice instead of medicine, or restaurant customers are expected to prepare their own meals?
Literature, More or Less: A Short Story Collection brings together ten short stories by Japanese writer Eikyo Matsunaga, now available in English. Everyday routines take unexpected turns as ordinary people try to make sense of strange rules and unlikely situations. These stories combine absurd premises, humour, and human reactions for readers who enjoy literary fiction that takes a different route.
Matsunaga pursues the world's most advanced literary expression as a creative ambition. By asking AI to write and comparing its work with his own, he searched for a style that AI could not reproduce and arrived at his current voice. For him, the act of a human writing is itself a form of resistance in the age of AI.
