OF DOGS AND WALLS: Penguin Modern Book 43 (Short Stories) (Translation) by Yuko Tsushima

In these two stories, never before translated into English, Tsushima explores how memories, dreams, and fleeting images shape the borders of our lives. The Wall presents the haunting idea that, though their house is new, the wall has been there a long time, symbolizing the passage of time and the persistence of the past.

Part of the Penguin Modern series, this collection celebrates the pioneering spirit of Penguin Modern Classics, offering a concentrated dose of contemporary international literature. With works from authors like Kathy Acker, James Baldwin, and Shirley Jackson, these books deliver essays, poems, and stories that range from the surreal to the moving, taking readers from the deep South to modern Japan. The Wall belongs in the Literary Fiction category, making it a must-read for anyone looking to explore the boundaries of memory and identity
