Where Europe Begins


A Literary Fiction Short Story Collection

Buy from Amazon

Publisher Description

A gorgeous collection of fantastic and dreamlike tales by one of the world's most innovative contemporary writers.

In these stories' disparate settings—Japan, Siberia, Russia, and Germany—the reader becomes as much a foreigner as the author, or the figures that fill this book: the ghost of a burned woman, a traveler on the Trans-Siberian railroad, a mechanical doll, a tongue, a monk who leaps into his own reflection.

Through the timeless art of storytelling, Yoko Tawada discloses the virtues of bewilderment, estrangement, and Hilaritas: the goddess of rejoicing.
