'Wonderfully poetic ... extraordinary freshness ... a Virginia Woolf quality' Margaret DrabbleIt is Spring. A young woman, left by her husband, starts a new life in a Tokyo apartment. Territory of Light follows her over the course of a year, as she struggles to bring up her two-year-old daughter alone. Her new home is filled with light, streaming through the windows, so bright you have to squint, but she finds herself plummeting deeper into darkness; becoming unstable, untethered. As the months come and go, and the seasons turn, she must confront what she has lost and what she will become. At once tender and lacerating, luminous and unsettling, Territory of Light is a novel of abandonment, desire and transformation. It was originally published in twelve parts in the Japanese literary monthly Gunzo, between 1978 and 1979, each chapter marking the months in real time.'There is something deeply seductive about being drawn into the intimate thoughts of a woman who otherwise would tell them to no one. [ . . . ] This portrait of an imperfect mother who strives to provide a good life for her child feels painfully relevant.' Rowan Hisayo Buchanan

Mitch and Yonko haven’t spoken in a year. As children, they were inseparable, raised together in an orphanage outside Tokyo—but ever since the sudden death of Mitch’s brother, they’ve been mourning in their private ways, worlds apart. In the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe, they choose to reunite, finding each other in a city undone by disaster.Mitch and Yonko have drifted apart, but they will always be bound together. Because long ago they witnessed an unspeakable tragedy, a tragedy that they’ve kept secret for their entire lives. They never speak of it, but it’s all around them. Like history, it repeats itself.Yuko Tsushima’s sweeping and consuming novel is a metaphysical saga of postwar Japan. Wildcat Dome is a hugely ambitious exploration of denial, of the ways in which countries and their citizens avoid telling the truth—a tale of guilt, loss, and inevitable reckoning.'Tsushima evades any label, her fiction transcends gender to focus on the existential loneliness that is at the heart of humanity.'

Das vergessene Meisterwerk einer großen japanischen AutorinYuko Tsushima gewann in ihrer Heimat zahlreiche Preise, ihr Werk wurde in zwölf Sprachen übersetzt. Mit ›Räume des Lichts‹ wird sie nun endlich auch hierzulande wiederentdeckt. Der 1979 erstmals erschienene Roman ist ein zeitloses Meisterwerküber Liebe, Mutterschaft und den Kampf um die Kontrolle über das eigene Leben.Es ist die einzige Wohnung, die sie finden kann: die letzte Etage eines Bürogebäudes mit lichtdurchfluteten Räumen. Nachdem ihr Mann sein Leben allein weiterführen und sie mit ihrer zweijährigen Tochter nicht in den Haushalt der Mutter zurückkehren will, zieht sie kurzerhand dort ein. Während sie ein Matratzenlager baut, wirft das Mädchen Spielzeuge aus dem Fenster. Während sie zu verhindern versucht, dass ein Netz vor den Fenstern angebracht wird, plagen ihre Tochter Albträume. Während sie ihr Kind in den Armen hält, wünscht sie sich, ebenfalls von jemandem in den Arm genommen zu werden. Immer wiederverliert sie die Bodenhaftung, wenn ihr Chef keine weiterenKrankheitstage zulässt, wenn ihr Noch-Ehemann von einer Scheidung nichts wissen will, wenn ihre Wut sie in die Bar treibt,während ihre Tochter in der Wohnung schläft. Aber dann sind da auch die Dachterrasse, die sich nach einem Wasserschaden in einen Pool verwandelt, das Volksfest mit Feuerwerk und Zuckerwatte, das Licht um sie herum – und der tiefe Wunsch, ihr Leben Stück für Stück neu zusammenzusetzen.

Premio Joryū Bungaku, 1978. Vuelve la autora de «Territorio de luz» con una historia dolorosamente veraz en su descripción de la feminidad y la maternidad japonesas.
Koko siempre ha vivido en el presente. Afronta cada día sin mirar atrás. Pese a las presiones de su familia, se fue a vivir a un piso con su novio. Ha criado ella sola a una niña de once años mientras sobrevive dando clases particulares de piano. Mientras tanto, la sospecha de un nuevo embarazo despierta en su interior viejos anhelos, culpas eternas y esperanzas ocultas. Yuko Tsushima pone a prueba las convenciones sobre la independencia y la memoria, y nos ofrece un asfixiante baile de máscaras donde familiares, amigos y amantes se empeñan en tener la última palabra sobre cómo deberían vivir la vida las mujeres.
CRÍTICA
«Women''s Literature Prize en 1978, Yuko Tsushima defiende en esta novela el derecho a vivir como se quiera.» —Gonzalo Torné, La lecturta
«Una novela que explora la soledad, la sexualidad, la necesidad de amor y los lazos familiares en medio de la desolación de neón de Tokio.» —Angela Carter
«La prosa de Tsushima es tan desnuda y vívida que incluso los detalles banales adquieren una vitalidad visceral... Una historia que se sumerge de forma inquietante en la vida de las mujeres, sin sentimentalismo ni autocompasión.» —Margaret Drabble
«Tan relevante hoy como cuando se publicó... a la vez poderosamente edificante y dolorosamente triste.» —Japan Times
