Where Europe Begins was chosen as the Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2005. The Russian writer Victor Pelevin describes the work as an impressive journey through a world of clashing languages and ever-changing cities.
Story and Setting
The stories take place in diverse environments: Japan, Siberia, Russia, and Germany. The reader experiences, just like the author and the characters, a sense of alienation. Among them are, among others, the spirit of a burned woman, a traveler on the Trans-Siberian railway, a mechanical doll, a tongue, and a monk who jumps into his own reflection.
Themes and Style
Through the timeless art of storytelling, Yoko Tawada explores the value of confusion, alienation, and Hilaritas, the goddess of joy.
