The man's name is Leo-Eric Fu, and somehow he already knows Patrik . . .\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nYoko Tawada's mesmerizing new novel unfolds like a lucid dream in which the solace of friendship, reading, conversation, music - of seeing and being seen - is examined and celebrated.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSpontaneous Acts reaches out to all of us who find meaning and even obsession in the words of those before us.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPrevious praise for Tawada:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Every Yoko Tawada novel pulls the ground out from under us, but gives us new senses in return.'
