Memoirs of a polar bear / Yoko Tawada ; translated from the German by Susan Bernofsky. by Tawada, Yōko, 1960- author. New York : New Directions Publishing Corporation, c2016.

The Memoirs of a Polar Bear has in spades what Rivka Galchen hailed in The New Yorker as 'Yoko Tawada's magnificent strangeness'--Tawada is an author like no other. Three generations (grandmother, mother, son) of polar bears are famous, both as circus performers and writers in East Germany: they are polar bears who move in human society, stars of the ring and of the literary world. In Chapter One, the grandmother matriarch in the Soviet Union accidentally writes a bestselling autobiography. In Chapter Two, Tosca, her daughter (born in Canada, where her mother had emigrated) moves to the DDR and takes a job in the circus. Her son--the last of their line--is Knut, born in Chapter Three in a Leipzig zoo, but raised by a human keeper in relatively happy circumstances in the Berlin zoo, until his keeper, Matthias, is taken away... Happy or sad, each bear writes a story, enjoying both celebrity and 'the intimacy of being alone with my pen.'"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Tawada Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Tawada Missing Inventory Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Tawada Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Tawada Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Tawada Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Fiction Tawada Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Fiction Tawada Checked In Add Copy to MyList
