A review by dbert
The Emissary by Yōko Tawada

challenging emotional mysterious reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

It's a little hard to forget that it's a translation since the story relies heavyly on language, but the world Tawada writes is so original and fascinating that I got over it. A lot of strong images and weird concepts, an entirely novel post apocalyptic world. I especially loved the Mumei point of views towards the end.
