The Woman Dies
Feminist tales from Japan that blend humour, surrealism, and sharp societal critique, by the acclaimed author ofWhere the Wild Ladies Are
Piercing, inventive, and darkly humorous, the fifty-two stories in Aoko Matsudaâs The Woman Dies explore the persistent and pervasive sexism faced by women in modern-day Japan.
The normalization of violence against women on screen and in the media is confronted in the story âThe Woman Diesâ, while others invest inanimate objects with their own perspectives, examine the aesthetics of technology, and use clever wordplay to riff off the absurdity of contemporary life.
Masterfully translated by Polly Barton, the translator of Asako Yuzukiâs Butter, The Woman Dies is more than a simple thrill ride. Blending humour, surrealism, and sharp social critique, itâs a vast, multifaceted theme park of ideas by one of Japanâs most exciting writers.
