In this concluding volume, intrepid Hiruko and her band of friends embark on a sea voyage in search of Hiruko's lost island homeland - the Land of Sushi. The boat carrying the companions strikes east from Copenhagen across the Baltic Sea, but as it docks in coastal ports along the route, an array of mysterious characters boards the vessel.
Deeply inventive, poignant and sublime, Archipelago of the Sun is yet another masterful novel by the grande dame of Japanese literature.
Yoko Tawada writes in both Japanese and German. She has received the Akutagawa Prize among other awards, and is the author of Memoirs of a Polar Bear, The Bridegroom was a Dog, Scattered all Over the Earth, The Naked Eye and The Last Children of Tokyo, which won the National Book Award under the title The Emissary.
Margaret Mitsutani is a translator of Yoko Tawada and Kenzaburö Öe.
