A gorgeous collection of fantastic and dreamlike tales by one of
the world's most innovative contemporary writers.
"Where Europe Begins" presents a collection of startling new
stories by Japanese writer Yoko Tawada. Moving through landscapes
of fairy tales, family history, strange words and letters, dreams,
and every-day reality, Tawada's work blurs divisions between fact
and fiction, prose and poetry. Often set in physical spaces as
disparate as Japan, Siberia, Russia, and Germany, these tales
describe a fragmented world where even a city or the human body can
become a sort of text. Suddenly, the reader becomes as much a
foreigner as the author and the figures that fill this book: the
ghost of a burned woman, a woman traveling on the Trans-Siberian
railroad, a mechanical doll, a tongue, a monk who leaps into his
own reflection. Tawada playfully makes the experience of
estrangement--of a being in-between--both sensual and bewildering,
and as a result practically invents a new way of seeing things
while telling a fine story.
