Tawada can be compared to no other. Literally nothing has been lost in translation. The English version of her prose takes on a whole new, exciting world and the reader cannot help but fondle the details. Her attention to movement, identity, and beauty coupled with libidinal undertones, some quite literal, make her work unique and compelling. Tawada brings new attention to World Literature and rightly so.

Some brilliant pieces on language, dislocation, identity, death, some less good - but all worth coming back to.
