THREE STREETS - YOKO TAWADA MARGARET MITSUTANI ...

The always astonishing Yoko Tawada here takes a walk on the supernatural side of the street. In
Kollwitzstrasse  as the narrator muses on former East Berlin's new bourgeois health food stores
so popular with wealthy young people  a ghost boy begs her to buy him the old-fashioned sweets
he craves. She worries that sugar's still sugar-but why lecture him  since he's already dead?
Then white feathers fall from her head and she seems to be turning into a crane . . . Pure
white kittens and a great Russian poet haunt Majakowskiring: the narrator who reveres
Mayakovsky's work is delighted to meet his ghost. And finally  in Pushkin Allee  a huge
Soviet-era memorial of soldiers comes to life-and  for a scene of carnage everything was
awfully well-ordered. Each of these stories opens up into new dimensions the work of this
magisterial writer.
