Gush

Imbued with Magic, mystery, hope and an overwhelming sense of solace, Gush is Yo Hemmi's comic masterpiece. A collection of three deeply bizarre yet comedic novellas, it delicately interweaves delightful commentary with a narrative contemplating the interconnectedness of life. The title story recounts the narrator's relationship with a beautiful young woman who suffers from a mysterious condition that causes her body to fill with water. Only performing shameful acts, such as shoplifting imported cheeses or making love, allows the water to be released...

Yo Henmi was born in Miyagi. After working as a correspondent for a news service agency, he started writing novels.
