Scattered all over the earth / Yoko Tawada ; translated from the Japanese by Margaret Mitsutani. by Tawada, Yōko, 1960- author. New York : New Directions Publishing, 2022. Subjects Refugees -- Fiction.   Language and languages -- Fiction.   Climatic changes -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780811229289 (paperback) : 0811229289 (paperback) : Series:  New Directions paperbook ; 1523. Description:  219 pages ; 21 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Welcome to the not-too-distant future: Japan, having vanished from the face of the earth, is now remembered as "the land of sushi." Hiruko, its former citizen and a climate refugee herself, has a job teaching immigrant children in Denmark with her invented language Panska (Pan-Scandinavian): "homemade language. no country to stay in. three countries I experienced. insufficient space in brain. so made new language. homemade language." As she searches for anyone who can still speak her mother tongue, Hiruko soon makes new friends. Her troupe travels to France, encountering an umami cooking competition; a dead whale; an ultra-nationalist named Breivik; unrequited love; Kakuzo robots; red herrings; uranium; an Andalusian matador. Episodic and mesmerizing scenes flash vividly along, and soon they're all next off to Stockholm. With its intrepid band of companions, Scattered All Over the Earth (the first novel of a trilogy) may bring to mind Alice's Adventures in Wonderland or a surreal Wind in the Willows, but really is just another sui generis Yoko Tawada masterwork"-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Tawada Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Tawada Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Tawada Checked out 06/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Tawada Missing Inventory   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Tawada Checked out 06/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Science Fiction Tawada Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Tawada Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Science Fiction Tawada Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Science Fiction Tawada Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Tawada Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
