In this enchanting miscellany, Galchen notes that literature has more dogs than babies (and also more abortions), that the tally of children for many great women writers--Jane Bowles, Elizabeth Bishop, Virginia Woolf, Janet Frame, Willa Cather, Patricia Highsmith, Iris Murdoch, Djuna Barnes, Mavis Gallant--is zero, that orange is the new baby pink, that The Tale of Genji has no plot but plenty of drama about paternity, that babies exude an intoxicating black magic, and that a baby is a goldmine.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. During the Heian period of ancient Japan (794-1185 AD), when Chinese was still the official language of power and politics, even privileged women of the imperial court were not allowed to learn Chinese and wrote instead in Japanese, using kana - an abbreviated and vernacular system of written characters. Writing in this subordinate script, they produced some of the greatest works of world literature, including Murasaki Shikibu's The Tale of Genji - often considered the first novel - and Sei Shonagon's sui generis, confessional Pillow Book. This personal essay by the acclaimed Rivka Galchen sets out from these ancient Japanese women writers in search of "the small" throughout the history of literature - from Emily Dickinson to Fyodor Dostoevsky, from Robert Walser to Marianne Moore - before returning to the Land of the Rising Sun and its contemporary boom of young female Japanese crime fiction writers. A little book on writings of the subordinate, minor, and the small Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
