Excerpt: ... light of the present on the culprits of the past. I can understand their motives, and the means they made Vol. XXXIX--No. 229 N N use of to attain their ends. Nothing is too base for the partisan spirit.' But the Fathers of the Vatican Council who formed the Opposition Party and their friends were no more pursuing low personal ends than were Archbishop Manning and Monsignor Talbot in the' Errington case' and other contests; but what they considered, as Archbishop Manning and Monsignor Talbot did in their own special conflicts, the cause of religion and the well-being of the Church and society. The history of the Vatican Council has not been suppressed for fear of giving scandal to Protestants; it was even by Cardinal Manning himself. Why then should the history of his own contests for the cause of the Catholic Church in England be suppressed? Catholics are not a bit worse than their neighbours; are no greater intriguers in their diplomacy than their fellow-men, lay or ecclesiastic. In no state in Europe, in no republic, in no court save the Court of Queen Victoria, do diplomatic arts and wiles--call them if you will intrigues--not flourish, like weeds in a congenial soil. What would, indeed, have given far greater scandal than the nonsuppression of Card.

From Japan to Vietnam to Amsterdam to the Canary Islands, these three new tales by master storyteller Yoko Tawada float between cultures, identities, and the dreamwork of the imagination When he watched Michael Jackson's videos, every cell in Tamao's body started to seethe: he even felt his appearance begin to change. His friends all said plastic surgery was in bad taste. But didn't everyone harbor a secret desire for a new face? His own was as plain as a burlap sack, so he put it out of his mind and studied hard to compensate for how dull he looked. He told himself that fretting over one's appearance was a job for women. But deep down, doesn't every man who lacks confidence in his looks yearn for that moment when the Beast turns into a handsome young man? -- from Facing the Bridge reading Yoko Tawada becomes an obsession, like watching the films of Catherine Deneuve. In Facing the Bridge, Tawada's second story collection with New Directions, obsession becomes delight as the reader is absorbed into three tales where identities flicker and shift within borders as wide as the mind.

A gorgeous collection of fantastic and dreamlike tales by one of the world's most innovative contemporary writers. Where Europe Begins presents a collection of startling new stories by Japanese writer Yoko Tawada. Moving through landscapes of fairy tales, family history, strange words and letters, dreams, and every-day reality, Tawada's work blurs divisions between fact and fiction, prose and poetry. Often set in physical spaces as disparate as Japan, Siberia, Russia, and Germany, these tales describe a fragmented world where even a city or the human body can become a sort of text. Suddenly, the reader becomes as much a foreigner as the author and the figures that fill this book: the ghost of a burned woman, a woman traveling on the Trans-Siberian railroad, a mechanical doll, a tongue, a monk who leaps into his own reflection. Tawada playfully makes the experience of estrangement—of a being in-between—both sensual and bewildering, and as a result practically invents a new way of seeing things while telling a fine story. Yoko Tawada writes in both Japanese and German. She has lived in Hamburg for over ten years, received the prestigious Akutagawa Prize in Japan, and in Germany the Chamisso Prize (the highest honor for a foreign-born writer of German). She was writer in residence at MIT and has published several books in Japanese and German, including two plays performed on German and Austrian stages.
