Disorientalism - Paperbackby Kyoko Yoshida (Author) Kyoko Yoshida's debut collection Disorientalism brings together nineteen short stories that systematically smash the boundaries of the real and its imagining. Told with a deadpan, visceral humour these stories unsettle and surprise, leading the reader into alternate realities at once comic and nightmarishly beautiful and human. This is contemporary surrealism at its best mischievous, dissonant, dystopic, bewildering.
