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 pocket-sized paperbacks VINTAGE Editions celebrate the audacity and ambition
of the written word transporting readers to wherever in the world literary innovation may be
found.
