After having worked as a scientist making biosensors, the author now writes novels. This is the first collection of short stories by a newcomer who has constantly questioned the boundaries between the normal and the abnormal, success and failure, and mainstream and non-mainstream. It feels as if it would exist somewhere but doesn't, and it depicts a world of imagination with a unique atmosphere as if it could be grasped in the hand. “Why Don't Pilgrims Return?” paints a future where 'perfect' gene selection is possible, and those who do not belong in the category of perfection are pushed out of bounds. A grandmother scientist struggles to reunite with her family in a distant universe. “If We Cannot Move at the Speed of Light” tells the story of hate toward unreasonable boundaries and longing for a family beyond the vast universe. The author has created stories we want to read and share together in a way that we can imagine places we can't reach.
