An Invitation from a Crab

An Invitation from a Crab

A collection of surreal stories and essays by panpanya.

We’ve discussed this on a previous episode.

Reread this recently and it’s still great. Themes of surrealism are heavy throughout An Invitation from a Crab but it’s never off-putting. There’s just something unique in the way panpanya weaves together story, art, perspectives, and backgrounds that leave you feeling like you’re dreaming. Even the glossary for items in the back adds to this experience. Highly recommended.

You can pick up an English copy from Denpa.
