From the publisher

Translated by Margaret Mitsutani

The final instalment of Yoko Tawada’s dystopian Scattered All Over the Earth trilogy: Scattered All Over the Earth and Suggested in the Stars

In this concluding volume, intrepid Hiruko and her band of friends embark on a sea voyage in search of Hiruko’s lost island homeland – the Land of Sushi. The boat carrying the companions strikes east from Copenhagen across the Baltic Sea, but as it docks in coastal ports along the route, an array of mysterious characters boards the vessel.

Deeply inventive, poignant and sublime, Archipelago of the Sun is yet another masterful novel by the grande dame of Japanese literature
