Winner of 2018 National Book Award in Translated LiteratureLibrary Journal Best Books of 2018Yoko Tawadas new novel is a breathtakingly lighthearted meditation on mortality and fully displays what Rivka Galchen has called her brilliant, shimmering, magnificent strangenessJapan, after suffering from a massive irreparable disaster, cuts itself off from the world. Children are so weak they can barely stand or walk: the only people with any getgo are the elderly. Mumei lives with his grandfather Yoshiro, who worries about him constantly. They carry on a daytoday routine in what could be viewed as a postFukushima time, with all the children born ancientfrail and grayhaired, yet incredibly compassionate and wise. Mumei may be enfeebled and feverish, but he is a beacon of hope, full of wit and free of selfpity and pessimism. Yoshiro concentrates on nourishing Mumei, a strangely wonderful boy who offers the beauty of the time that is yet to come.A delightful, irrepressibly funny book, The Emissary is filled with light. Yoko Tawada, deftly turning insideout the curse, defies gravity and creates a playful joyous novel out of a dystopian one, with a legerdemain uniquely her own.
