Dip into any part of them and you will surely find treasures about the cinema, literature, traveling, writing. The passages are evocative, erotic, playful, and often profound." -- Japanese Language and Literature; Donald Richie has been observing and writing about Japan from the moment he arrived on New Years Eve, 1946. Detailing his life, his lovers, and his ideas on matters high and low, The Japan Journals is a record of both a nation and an evolving expatriate sensibility. As Japan modernizes and as the author ages, the tone grows elegiac, andThe Japan Journals, now in paperback after the critically acclaimed hardcover edition, becomes a bittersweet chronicle of a complicated life well lived and captivatingly told.Donald Richie, the eminent film historian, novelist, and essayist, still lives in Tokyo. 600 10 Richie, Donald,|d1924-2013|vDiaries. 651 0 Japan|xCivilization|y1945- 651 0 Japan|xSocial life and customs|y1945- 956 20130731|bpfmcq 957 OCLC xref loaded 20130811 994 C0|bCUY
