Product details
The interesting lies in the in-between, said Yoko Tawada in an interview. Between the words, between people, between cultures. Small, detail-oriented observations from everyday European life - through a Japanese lens. It’s about pencils, office supplies, the meaning of "knocking on wood three times," earrings and stickers as talismans and protective charms, a journey to a "typically German doll," telephone booths, souls, translation, and much more. "Like an ethnologist, she enters a foreign land" and sees everything with deliberately naive eyes, as if she has never heard anything about this country and its customs. After reading Tawada's books, one views the everyday world around us with new eyes.
