Memoirs of a Polar Bear by Yōko Tawada, Susan Bernofsky (Translator)

Memoirs of a Polar Bear by Yōko Tawada, Susan Bernofsky (Translator)A bear, born and raised in captivity, is devastated by the loss of his keeper; another finds herself performing in the circus; a third sits down one day and pens a memoir which becomes an international sensation, and causes her to flee her home.
