The Bridegroom Was A Dog by Yoko Tawada
and Other Stories
A collection of spare, surreal short fables in which humans, animals and objects blur and exchange roles, using linguistic play and odd, often darkly comic imagery to explore displacement, identity, gender and the strangeness of belonging; the stories juxtapose mythic transformation and quotidian detail to unsettle assumptions about language, culture and the body while delivering sly, haunting reflections on migration, otherness and the limits of communication.
