Title: The Bridegroom Was a Dog by Yoko Tawada, Margaret Mitsutani ISBN: 4-7700-2940-3 Publisher: Kodansha International (JPN) Pub. Date: 01 September, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $12.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 2.33 (6 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Creative and disturbing
Comment: I'm thankful to have some translations of this amazing writer of Japanese fiction. These stories provide a rich and surreal reflection on gender and cultural identities and the final story is one of the best depictions of feeling out of place, whether living with a new family or in a new country (in this case both). Sorry to see that this is out of print, but happy that "Where Europe Begins" is now out.
Rating: 5
Summary: Wonderful Book!
Comment: If you love good writing, you will love this book. As Kafka was rebuked by the first readers of his day only to become one of the most influential writers of this century, so too Tawada is walking an unmarked road that will eventually gain the accolades it deserves.
Rating: 1
Summary: Is this really the same book in English?
Comment: Bride Groom was a Dog? Is this really the translation of Inumukoiri? That mythical modern-day fairy tale that won the Akutagawa Award? Even the title sounds lousy. What happened to the sense of mystery, the portent, the magic? This is the worst translation I have seen since the Japanese version of the lyrics to "A Hard Day's Night" !!
