Dolls, Vol. 2

By Yumiko Kawahara and 川原 由美子

Book Overview

Set in an upside-down world combining a murky mix of science fiction, reality and moral ambiguity, Yumiko Kawahara's short stories examine the ineffable disparities that exist between the lover and the loved one.

Return to the Dolls House

Once again, Yumiko Kawahara delivers a collection of wildly imaginative tales about man's best friend--the seductive and oddly compelling Plant Dolls.

In one story, a young man finds comfort from a doll that shares his heartbreak of a lonely childhood. In another, a doll holds the key to a vast family fortune. And in this volume's final story, a singing doll is discovered. But when she sings...madness ensues
