In these stories' disparate settingsJapan, Siberia, Russia, and Germanythe reader becomes as much a foreigner as the author, or the figures that fill this book: the ghost of a burned woman, a traveler on the TransSiberian railroad, a mechanical doll, a tongue, a monk who leaps into his own reflection.
