Omschrijving
“Tawada’s slender accounts of alienation achieve a remarkable potency.”—Michael Porter, The New York Times
"A distinguished contribution to the unique paranoid style of the new European novel."
"Her finest stories dramatize the fate of the individual in a mobilized world."
"Tawada’s chilling evocations of disorientation are the peers of Paul Bowles’ most chilling stories."
"Honorable Mention: one of the 10 Best Books of 2009."
Born in Tokyo in 1960, Yoko Tawada writes in both Japanese and German: she has received the Akutagawa, Kleist, Lessing, Noma, Adelbert von Chamisso, and Tanizaki prizes, as well as the Goethe Medal. Her novel The Emissary won the National Book Award. Rivka Galchen in the New York Times Magazine hailed her work as “magnificently strange.” Susan Bernofsky is the acclaimed translator of Hermann Hesse, Robert Walser, and Jenny Erpenbeck, and the recipient of many awards, including the Helen and Kurt Wolff Prize and the Hermann Hesse Translation Prize. She teaches literary translation at Columbia University and lives in New York.
