About this book

Un entomólogo japonés que mantiene una peculiar relación con la comida (su prima murió de anorexia y su primo se convirtió en un destacado luchador de sumo), y cuya familia aún se rige por los antiguos preceptos japoneses, decide por voluntad propia dejar de comer después de un extraño sueño que tiene una noche. A partir de este sueño empieza a recordar distintos sucesos inexplicables que comenzaron la primera vez que viajó a África. Este relato de Bellatin, adaptado por Liniers y por el propio narrador, posee un aroma pesadillesco e inquietante, que lo convierte en un diamante singular en el mundo del cómic A Japanese entomologist who has a peculiar relationship with food (his cousin died of anorexia and his cousin became a prominent sumo wrestler), and whose family is still governed by ancient Japanese precepts, voluntarily decides to stop eating after a strange dream that he has one night. After this dream he begins to remember different inexplicable events that began the first time he traveled to Africa. This Bellatin story, adapted by Liniers and by the narrator himself, has a nightmarish and disturbing flavor, which makes it a unique gem in the world of comics.
