Ysko Tawada: Voices from Everywhere is the first volume of criticism dedicated to the work of Ysko Tawada, one of the most highly acclaimed writers of her generation. Douglas Slaymaker has collected a range of essays that explore the plurality of voices and cultures in Tawada's work and push on to explicate the poetics and intellectual underpinnings of her writing. Analyses of her fiction are paired with examinations of its philosophic and aesthetic foundations. This is an essential collection for anyone with an interest in this important young writer.

To capture the multilingual, cosmopolitan brilliance of Yöko Tawada would require assembling a team of scholars specializing in different disciplines and regions--and that is precisely what Douglas Slaymaker has accomplished in this fine volume. At last, we have a study worthy of one of the most interesting writers at work in the world today.--Michael K. Bourdaghs, University of Chicago

Topics include why "Tawada Yoko" does
