Under Execution, Under Jailbreak is a book with 4 short, independent stories by the author of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (after hearing that, you're already sure you'll be treated to something unique) released during the time Part 5 of JJBA was published (1997-1999).
The first two stories: "Under Execution, Under Jailbreak" and "Dolce and his Master" are two very surrealistic stories (of which I'm a big fan). It leaves you wondering what's real and what isn't.
