A mother and daughter travel from abroad to meet in Tokyo: they walk along the canals through the autumn evenings, escape the typhoon rains, share meals in small cafes and restaurants, and visit galleries to see some of the city's most radical modern art. All the while, they talk about the weather, horoscopes, clothes, and objects, about family, distance, and memory. But uncertainties abound. Who is speaking here - is it only the daughter? And what is the real reason behind this elliptical, perhaps even spectral journey? At once a careful reckoning and an elegy, Cold Enough for Snow questions whether any of us speak a common language, which dimensions can contain love, and what claim we have to know another's inner world honestly.
Selected from more than 1,500 entries, Cold Enough for Snow won the Novel Prize, a new biennial award offered by Fitzcarraldo Editions, New Directions (US), and Giramondo (Australia), for any novel written in English that explores and expands the possibilities of the form.
