Description:
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1999 Book. Fine. Soft cover. Uncorrected Proof.. "Advanced Reading Copy from uncorrected proofs" Alive with history, myth and wonder, The City of Yes is a luminous novel of parallel journeys through old and present-day Japan. In Saitama to teach English, the narrator is confronted by unlikely visions of home as he gradually enters the world of contemporary Japan, with its floating stories, enigmas, and contradictions. His own story is deftly interwoven with that of a real-life nineteenth-century Canadian adventurer, whose strange confinement in a Japanese prison, beginning in 1848, is so vividly imagined by the narrator. Full of delightful tales and eccentric characters, and written with the delicacy of a brushstroke artist, The City of Yes is suffused with warm humour, and with the intelligence and curiosity of a keen observer of life's riches and eccentricities. The City of Yes won the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize in 1999.. 335p..
