"Jedes Herz schlägt seinen eigenen Rhythmus. Daher ist es eine Zumutung, gemeinsam mit Millionen Menschen in einem einzigen Schlafzimmer zu schlafen, das „WWW“ heißt. Wir werden früher oder später aus dem eigenen Herzrhythmus herausgeworfen." (Yoko Tawada)

Yoko Tawada Interview: Writing Without Borders

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEXEqCcl1LA

"Tawada also talks about her praised novel ‘Memoirs of a Polar Bear’, in which the real-life polar bear Knut was an inspiration: “Animals are also an important topic since they constitute a border.” She feels that Knut became an allegory for our societies as well as a symbol for the global warming campaign and wanted to write a story “in which we look at our political issues.."

teaching Yoko Tawada in my MA Theory course tonight as a kind of lab for discussion. Love this slide of all my Tawada
(The Naked Eye, Memoirs of a Polar Bear, The Emissary, Scattered All Over the Earth, and The Bridegroom was a Dog -- the latter the subject of tonight's chat)

#YokoTawada

I want to read "言葉と歩く日記" by #YokoTawada. I will give it a try when I am in Japan. Unfortunately there is no English translation.
　
I am sure this book will give me new perspectives to think about the language.

I returned books to my library. I borrowed the time of the angels by #Irismurdoch today.

I am still reading Memories of a polar bear by #YokoTawada. It seems like #Bojackhorseman. A polar bear became a writer after retiring the circus career. Sometimes I laughed out with her humor.

"To me, Berlin was a tropical city."

She spilled the ink on her fur because it was too hot to wear anything while writing her autobiography.

It is a fantasy story but the detail descriptions give the reality.

It will be interesting to see my country from English world.
I will try to read translated Japanese novels. :thinkhappy:

I put hold on the books by #YokoTawada #Yoshimotobanana.
