| |  | | | In Brief
The best of an extraordinary expatriate writer: Richie on Japanese film, culture, eroticism, everyday life, and more.
| | | | From The Publisher
The first collection to display the full breadth of Donald Richie's writings about Japan and his singular contribution to our understanding of that country over the past 50 years. Includes excerpts from Richie's fiction, private journal, Zen musings, critical work on film, and masterful essays on culture and style. Over time we see the starry-eyed new immigrant become more reflective, lamenting the passing of a Japan whose memory his own writing will preserve. Includes a thoughtful introduction and comprehensive bibliography.
