Where the wild ladies are
Matsuda, Aoko, 1979-2020
Book
Witty, inventive, and profound, Where the Wild Ladies Are is a contemporary feminist retelling of traditional ghost stories by one of Japans most exciting writers. In a company run by the mysterious Mr Tei, strange things are afoot, incense sticks lead to a surprise encounter; a young man reflects on his mothers death; a foxlike woman finally finds her true calling. As female ghosts appear in unexpected guises, their gently humorous encounters with unsuspecting humans lead to deeper questions about emancipation and recent changes in Japanese womens lives.
