The holes of the nose are one of the smallest and most interesting parts of our body. We humans have two, and we use them to breathe and perceive smells. You would surely like to know more about these mysterious holes, wouldn’t you? The author recommends reading this book with the holes of your nose wide open.

Holes of the Nose forms part of the series The Map of my Body, comprised by six titles. The author, Genichiro Yagyu, is Japanese. As a child, he had very bad eyesight and wore round glasses with a white frame that looked like slices of turnip, so at school he used to get called “turnip glasses”. This gave him plenty to think about for a while. When he got over it, he began to worry about his plump buttocks, and later on, about the holes of his nose. After looking at himself and others so much, it was no surprise he would end up making these books to get to know our body a little better and understand how it functions.

Genichiro Yagyu recommends reading this book with the holes of your nose wide open.
