The Bridegroom Was a Dog
"Three fast-moving, mysteriously compelling tales... [that have] the dream quality of Kafka." -New Yorker"A series of misadventures, at once hilarious and menacing." -Village Voice"Tawada's slender accounts of alienation achieve a remarkable potency. Each one sustains a masterly balance between the tenuous but meaningful connections of dreams and the direct, earthy storytelling of fold tales." -The New York Times"A surrealist with a funky, abrasive sense of humor." -Kirkus Reviews"A refreshing appetite for mischief." -Los Angeles Times"Funny and audacious." -Booklist"As in a novel by Jules Verne, fantastic new spaces keep opening up before your inner eye." -WimWenders
