Tawada famously writes in both Japanese and German, but her interest in language reaches beyond any mere dichotomy. The term "exo- phonic," which she first heard in Senegal, has a special allure for the author: "I was already familiar with similar terms, 'immigrant literature,' or 'creole lit- erature,' but 'exophonic' had a much broader meaning, referring to the general experience of existing outside of one's mother tongue." Tawada revels in explorations of cross-cultural and intra-language possibilities (and along the way deals several nice sharp raps to the global primacy of English). The accent here, as in her fiction, is the art of drawing closer to the world through defamiliarization. Never entertaining a received thought, Tawada seeks the still-to-be-discovered truths, as well as what might possibly be invented entirely whole cloth. Exophony opens a new vista into Yoko Tawada's world, and delivers more of her signature erudite wit-at once cross-grained and generous, laser-focused and multidimensional, slyly ironic and warmly companionable"-- Provided by publisher.;

Abstract	"How perfect that Yoko Tawada's first essay collection in English dives deep into her lifelong fascination with the possibilities opened up by cross-hybrid- izing languages. Tawada famously writes in both Japanese and German, but her interest in language reaches beyond any mere dichotomy. The term "exo- phonic," which she first heard in Senegal, has a special allure for the author: "I was already familiar with similar terms, 'immigrant literature,' or 'creole lit- erature,' but 'exophonic' had a much broader meaning, referring to the general experience of existing outside of one's mother tongue." Tawada revels in explorations of cross-cultural and intra-language possibilities (and along the way deals several nice sharp raps to the global primacy of English). The accent here, as in her fiction, is the art of drawing closer to the world through defamiliarization. Never entertaining a received thought, Tawada seeks the still-to-be-discovered truths, as well as what might possibly be invented entirely whole cloth. Exophony opens a new vista into Yoko Tawada's world, and delivers more of her signature erudite wit-at once cross-grained and generous, laser-focused and multidimensional, slyly ironic and warmly companionable"-- Provided by publisher.
