In this brilliant debut, winner of the 2019 Fitzcarraldo Editions Essay Prize, Polly Barton reflects on her experience of moving to the Japanese island of Sado at the age of twenty-one and on her journey to becoming a literary translator. Written in fifty semi-discrete entries, FIFTY SOUNDS is a personal dictionary of the Japanese language that draws together a variety of cultural reflections - from conformity and being an outsider, to the gendering of Japanese society, and attitudes towards food and the cult of 'deliciousness' - alongside probing insights into the transformative powers of language-learning. Candid, humane, witty and wise, FIFTY SOUNDS is a remarkable work that takes a transparent look at language itself, lifting the lid on the quietly revolutionary act of learning, speaking, and living in another language.
