Word Book by Mieko Kanai
The newest addition to Dalkey Archive s Japanese Literature Series is a complex and beautiful tour de force.
“Kanai has an ephemeral sensuality that offsets and compliments her modulated voices, who guide you through mini epics in this crisp, cool collection” — Bret McCabe, Baltimore City Paper
“Kanai's stories remind me of Italo Calvino or Jorge Luis Borges, with their stylistically vague flatness yet strong character-driven underpinnings… I highly recommended them and look forward to more.” — Todd Shimoda, Asian Review of Books
“Realities shift and are at once dreamlike and tangible. The range of subject matter and register is dazzling.” — Steve Finbow, The Japan Times
