Harlequin Butterfly has a slippery plot that explores ideas of language and writing. While Tomoyuki Tomoyuki seems to have the exceptional ability to write in the language of whichever place they find themselves in, the entrepreneur A.A. Abrams is obsessed with this author and employs unlimited resources for them to be tracked and revealed. This novella is strange and surreal, almost hallucinatory, and will leave you both satisfied and confused.
