Summary:
The Sky is Blue with a Single Cloud' collects the best short stories from Kuniko Tsurita s remarkable career. While the works of her male peers in literary manga are widely reprinted, this formally ambitious and poetic female voice is like none other currently available to an English readership. A master of the comics form, expert pacing and compositions combined with bold characters are signature qualities of Tsurita's work. Tsurita's early stories 'Nonsense' and 'Anti' provide a unique, intimate perspective on the bohemian culture and political heat of late 1960s and early 70's
Tokyo
. Her work gradually became darker and more surreal under the influence of modern French literature and her own prematurely failing health. As in works like 'The Sky Is Blue with a Single Cloud' and 'Max', the gender of many of Tsurita's strong and sensual protagonists is ambiguous, marking an early exploration of gender fluidity. Late stories like 'Arctic Cold' and 'Flight' show the artist experimenting with more conventional narrative modes, though with dystopian themes that extend the philosophical interests of her early work.
