Overview: “This sleazy book is not recommendable for ladies or gentlemen.” So reads the jacket of the Japanese edition of this collection of six dark, interrelated, tragicomic chapters dealing with themes of desire, inadequacy, and failure, using the underbelly of sex as its canvas. Lala Pipo tells the tale of six not-so-loveable losers and how their lives intertwine in the dark underbelly of Tokyo’s sex and porn industry. Whether they’re selling their bodies or their souls, there’s one thing they’re not getting in return: any kind of real connection with other human beings.
An ingenius tapestry of absurdity, whose cast of unlikable characters cross the line of good taste that even those who have crossed the line cannot help but notice. Each act pushes the envelope past the one preceding it. It’s like an episode of Seinfeld directed by Bob Guccione, all the story elements cleverly weaving together, taking the reader from shock to gut-busting hilarity with each tale. The main difference: these losers are X-rated.
Lala Pipo was made into a feature film released in Japan in 2009.
