Description
No one has written more, or more artfully, about Japan and Japanese culture than Donald Richie. Richie moved to Tokyo just after World War II and he is still there, still writing.
The Donald Richie Reader is the first compilation of the best of Richie’s writings on Japan, with excerpts from his critical work on film (Richie helped introduce Japanese film to the West in the late 1950s) and his unpublished private journal, plus fiction, Zen musings, and masterful essays on culture, travel, people, and style. The book includes a critical introduction and a full bibliography.
Donald Richie’s many books include The Films of Akira Kurosawa, The Japanese Tattoo, and the PBS favourite The Inland Sea. Vienna resident Arturo Silva lived in Japan for 18 years.
The Donald Richie Reader and The Japan Journals have been praised as, "like diving for pearls. Dip into any part of them and you will surely find treasures about the cinema, literature, travelling, and writing. The passages are evocative, erotic, playful, and often profound." - Japanese Language and Literature
