Teihon Baburing Soseiki (Revised Edition: The Genesis of Babbling) by Yasutaka Tsutsui Tokuma Bunko Tsutsui Yasutaka's monumental, bizarre book is back in print as a "revised edition" after 37 years! "Dondon is the father of Dondoko. Dondon's child, Dondoko, gives birth to Dondoko Don..." Using the "babbling" technique employed in jazz scat, this work, a bizarre parody of the Bible, shocked the literary world. This complete edition includes the title story, as well as the experimental work "Ue Shita Hidari Migi" (illustrations by Hiroshi Manabe, as they appeared in the magazine), which was not included in the first paperback edition. Also includes a newly written author's commentary. Ten stories in total.
