Abstract

The article focuses on how Alexander Chee's novel Edinburgh reshapes Japanese animal tales to explore transgressions of ethnic, gender, and heteronormative boundaries. Topics include the role of transgression in fairy tales, the cultural significance of the Japanese fox trickster Lady Tamamo, and the queering of traditional gender paradigms through cross-species and identity transformations.
