Description
In this extraordinary novel, three generations of polar bears navigate the worlds of performance and literature, blurring the lines between animal instinct and human artistry. From a grandmother's accidental bestselling autobiography in the Soviet Union to her daughter's life as a circus star in East Germany, and finally to a son raised in the Berlin zoo, each bear finds their voice through writing. Their stories explore themes of identity, celebrity, and the profound solitude found in the creative process. Yōko Tawada masterfully crafts a narrative that is both whimsical and deeply resonant, showcasing her signature magnificent strangeness.
