Scattered All Over the Earth by Yoko Tawada
A mind-expanding, cheerfully dystopian novel about friendship, difference, and what it means to belong, by a National Book Award-winning novelist.
Tawada writes beautifully about unbearable things -- Sara Baume, author of Spill Simmer Falter Wither
Magnificently strange -- RIVKA GALCHEN * NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE *
Every Yoko Tawada novel pulls the ground out from under us, but gives us new senses in returnScattered All Over the Earth, a novel of created, found, remembered and possible languages - of what lies at the very heart of listening - is that rare work of art: something entirely new in the world -- Madeleine Thien, author of Do Not Say We Have Nothing
Tawada writes lightly about serious matters in this memorable, magical tale -- Books of the Month * Guardian *
Tawada has certainly achieved the goal of highlighting the arbitrariness or even meaninglessness of borders, nations and fixed identities, and of holding up the inequalities of western immigration policies to scrutiny. The craftmanship of Scattered All Over the Earth is impeccable and every bit as inventive as fans of Yoko Tawada's work have come to expect * TLS *
