FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE MEMORY POLICE 'A conspicuously gifted writer...To read Ogawa is to
enter a dreamlike state tinged with a nightmare and her stories continue to haunt. She
possesses an effortless glassy eerie brilliance' Guardian Murderers and mourners mothers
and children lovers and innocent bystanders - locked in the embrace of an ominous and darkly
beautiful web their fates all converge through the eleven stories here in Yoko Ogawa's
Revenge. As tales of the macabre pass from character to character - an aspiring writer a
successful surgeon a cabaret singer a lonely craftsman - Ogawa provides us with a slice of
life that is resplendent in its chaos enthralling in its passion and chilling in its cruelty.
Translated by Stephen Snyder Elegant novellas-in-translation VINTAGE Editions celebrate the
audacity and ambition of the written word transporting readers to wherever in the world
