A strange journey into the far future of genetic engineering, and working life. After centuries of tinkering, many human bodies only have a casual similarity to what we now know, but both work and school continue apace. Will the enigmatic sad sack known only as “the worker” survive the day? Will the young student Hanishibe get his questions about the biological future of humanity answered, or will he have to transfer to the department of theology? Will Umari and her master ever comprehend the secrets of nanodust? -- VIZ Media

Surprise book mail from my cousin! He‘s read the original Japanese versions of these & knew I‘d enjoy them, so he sent me the English translations. Very grateful for him!

Ms Ice Sandwich is a novella that‘s part of the Japanese Novella Collection from Pushkin Press. I don‘t remember if the collection is for both nominees and winners or only winners of the Akutagawa Literary Prize, which is one of Japan‘s most sought after prizes.
