血沼，我以后大概都不会和你相遇了。
话没说完，小竹田在我眼前消失了。不仅仅是人消失不见，连他放在桌子上的威士忌也消失了。仿佛从头到尾都只有我一个人孤孤单单地坐在酒馆里。
一阵寒意袭上身来。
大概别人的一生中从 来都不会碰上遇到自己不认识的好友的事，但是我却碰上了。这可真是一件至死都忘不了的事情。不过，这件事情真的发生过吗？那个名叫小竹田的男子——今天第一次见的老朋友，真的存在过吗？
看起来，我到底是醉得不轻了。

今后若是论及小林泰三的唯一性，《醉步男》与《玩具修理者》的这本合集会是一个象征性的事件。至今我还能回想起读完《醉步男》时那种真切的眩晕感，在所有的意义上，《醉步男》都是打破定型的作品。——井上雅彦（日本小说家）
《醉步男》在当时出版的时候是一部非常独特的作品，它让我们在一部可怕而令人心碎的科幻小说中阅读逻辑幻想。——大野万纪（日本科幻评论家、书评人、翻译家）
这是作者小林泰三充满“逻辑恐怖”的作品。登场人物越是讨论关于现代物理学所采取的时间论和意识的问题，越会朝着噩梦般的、绝望的结论而坠落。当被问到“让梦想坠落的恐怖”时，这是我最先推荐的作品。——ミニキャッパー周平（JUMP j BOOKS编辑）
作为恐怖杰作而闻名的《玩具修理者》是日本恐怖小说大奖获奖作品，但更可怕、令人兴奋的杰作是同时收录的《醉步男》。读完之后，你会想回到开头再读一遍。——纪伊国屋书店
