Hanne's sojourn in Japan, which takes up the bulk of Schuyler's novel, is rich in details both sensory (the country's colors and tastes, as well as the sounds of its language) and cultural (manners, habits, social expectations). The creed on which Hanne has based her career (and the novel is clear that Hanne is a disciplined, hardworking, supremely intelligent woman) has omitted the importance of empathy and humility. This lesson, which Hanne finally receives in a setting far from her San Francisco home or any familiar geography, is delivered with great grace. It comes as a stunning surprise to the reader, in a powerful, beautiful scene that illuminates the value of listening carefully, even when one doesn't completely understand.", After a brain injury that impairs her language skills, Hanne, whose life's work is translation, is forced to fumble for words. A woman whose highest virtue has been correctness and precision comes to discover that the language of the heart is always a fumbling one, and the art of translation becomes a beautiful metaphor for the difficult art of traversing the border between ourselves and the people we love. Schuyler's prose is beautifully elegant and understated, with every detail made to count in weaving a rich emotional tapestry., Abrilliant odyssey of a mother and daughter. In clear, lyric prose, NinaSchuyler leads the reader into a dazzling kaleidoscope of different languagesand the under- currents of love and anger that belong to all of them. Aprofound, suspenseful and beautifully written book. brand: Pegasus Books ISBN-13: 9781605984704 Dewey Decimal: 813.6 LC Classification Number: PS3619.C484 Synopsis: When renowned translator Hanne Schubert falls down a flight of stairs, she suffers from an unusual but real condition -- the loss of her native language. Speaking only Japanese, a language learned later in life, she leaves for Japan. There, to Hanne's shock, the Japanese novelist whose work she recently translated confronts her publicly for sabotaging his work. Reeling, Hanne seeks out the inspiration for the author's novel -- a tortured, chimerical actor, once a master in the art of Noh theater. Through their passionate, volatile relationship, Hanne is forced to reexamine how she has lived her life, including her estranged relationship with her daughter. In elegant and understated prose, Nina Schuyler offers a deeply moving and mesmerizing story about language, love, and the transcendence of family., "Schuyler writes with piercing intelligence and real insight into the complex worlds of literary translation and human relationships." -- Ellen Sussman, author of the New York Times bestselling novel, French Lessons, When renowned translator Hanne Schubert falls down a flight of stairs, she suffers a brain injury and ends up with an unusual but real condition: the ability to only speak the language she learned later in life: Japanese. Isolated from the English-speaking world, Hanne flees to Japan, where a Japanese novelist whose work she has recently translated accuses her of mangling his work. Distraught, she meets a new inspiration for her work: a Japanese Noh actor named Moto. Through their contentious interactions, Moto slowly finds his way back onto stage while Hanne begins to understand how she mistranslated not only the novel, but also her daughter, who has not spoken to Hanne in six years. Armed with new knowledge languages both spoken and unspoken, she sets out to make amends.
