About this book

Where the Wild Ladies Are By Aoko Matsuda free pdf book download right now. Aoko Matsuda’s “Where the Wild Ladies Are” is a lively anthology of feminist reinterpretations of classic Japanese folktales. The book paints a universe where spirits and humans coexist, with spirits providing a range of services from truth-telling to babysitting.

The narratives are interconnected, crafting a world where intense “feminine” passions are not suppressed but nurtured. The book breathes new life into the rich tradition of Japanese folktales, depicting a world where humans are comforted, guided, challenged, and transformed by the occasionally visible forces that surround them.

About the author

Aoko Matsuda

Where the Wild Ladies Are takes the ghosts of Japanese rakugo and kabuki tradition and puts them to work in the present, mostly as women who have stopped apologising.
