The Dabba Dabba Tree -- Rumours about me -- Don't laugh -- Farmer airlines -- Bear's wood main line -- The very edge of happiness -- Commuter army -- Hello, hello, hello! -- The world Is tilting -- Bravo Herr Mozart! -- The last smoker -- Bad for the heart -- Salmonella men on Planet Porno.

This collection of marvelously off-kilter short stories – the American debut of acclaimed Japanese writer Yasutaka Tsutsui – portrays the consequences of a world where the fantastic and the mundane collide and throw the lives of ordinary men and women into disarray. With a sharp eye towards the insanities of contemporary life, Yasutaka Tsutsui crafts in Salmonella Men on Planet Porno an irresistible mix of imagination, satiric fantasy, and truly madcap hilarity.
