The bridegroom was a dog

Yōko Tawada, 1960-

Book - 2025

"A schoolteacher tells her students the fable of a princess who promises her hand in marriage to a dog she is intimate with. That very dog appears to the schoolteacher in real life as a doglike man. A romantic - and sexual - courtship develops, much to the chagrin of her friends, who have suspicions about the man's identity and motives."--Provided by publisher.
