Where Europe Begins by Yoko Towada (New Directions)
Each story is vivid and dreamlike and like all good dreams will bubble up from your subconscious, sometimes at the most inappropriate times…
One minute you’re taking a leisurely stroll in your neighborhood only to be transformed into a gigantic, moist, undulating tongue. Or, you’ll be eating a piece of toast for breakfast, not really thinking of much, when suddenly you’ll be convinced that a flea is living in the deep recesses of your ear. Sound uncomfortable? It is! But you’ll thank me for it later. Hope you enjoy this collection of short stories as much as I did. -Jillian
