In Kollwitzstrasse, as the narrator muses on former East Berlin's new bourgeois health food stores, so popular with wealthy young people, a ghost boy begs her to buy him the old-fashioned sweets he craves. She worries that sugar's still sugar--but why lecture him, since he's already dead? Then white feathers fall from her head and she seems to be turning into a crane . . . Pure white kittens and a great Russian poet haunt Majakowskiring: the narrator who reveres Mayakovsky's work is delighted to meet his ghost. And finally, in Pushkin Allee, a huge Soviet-era memorial of soldiers comes to life--and, for a scene of carnage everything was awfully well-ordered. Each of these stories opens up into new dimensions the work of this magisterial writer.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"Three Streets | Yoko Tawada | Hardcover | 9780811229302 | New | Fiction 1210873","offer_id":50557542990082,"sku":"1210873","price":34.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/51_qEMSXyHL.jpg?v=1790633483","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/three-streets","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
