She then released the Japanese version of the text, 変身のためのオピウム, in the fall of 2001.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe German title says: “Opium for Ovid: A Pillow Book by 22 Women.” The Japanese title says: “Opium for Metamorphoses.” Our English title says simply: Opium for Ovid. All three can be abbreviated in the same way in one word: Opium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe only way to experience a drug is to take it. In terms of the price per gram, our work is possibly the cheapest drug on the market. Stocks are limited. We honour our customers’ privacy and will take orders anonymously via our online donation system. We apologize in advance that, due to the recent crash, we no longer accept Bitcoin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Opium, Tawada demonstrates (in the sense of simultaneously “showing” and “proving”) a certain hitherto overlooked point about literary language. Our work demonstrates the same point about books. Either way, we promise to release you from the word “happiness” and to help you arrive at the word “opium.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs far as I know, no literary (or non-literary) scholar has yet given the correct answer to the question: “who (or what) is the narrator of Opium?” We find that a relief. If you ever figure out the answer to this riddle, please keep it secret, so that others may also experience the pleasure of discovering it for themselves.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Kenji Hayakawa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePublished by \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStereo Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e24 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e105 x 148 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stereo Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46723838738763,"sku":"OPOC3DYT01","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/files\/OpiumforOvid-chapter3-Daphne_YokoTawada.png?v=1689245297","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/da\/products\/opium-for-ovid-chapter-3-daphne-yoko-tawada","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
