Holidays on Planet 9

Newcomer Machida Hiroshi's debut book, a completely original work. A series of short stories depicting the modest daily lives of the people who live on "Planet 9," a small, remote planet. A man who yearns for a frozen beauty, a small incident involving a lost film, the day the moon leaves Planet 9, the love of a simple-minded genius scientist... eight refreshing stories that have come from far away on the wind.
