159 pages. Author is a Black American, born in New York City, who has lived in Japan since 1975. Her bimonthly "Crossing Cultures" column was a popular feature of the Japan Times. This publication is a compilation of 65 of those columns. "Not a few times, I have been asked if this or that 'really' happened, if someone 'really said that.' Though I admit I write fiction, I do not write it for the Japan Times." - from Introduction. In fine condition but for moderate spine lean. Unmarked. Very light wear. Bright colour-illustrated glossy covers. "Maybe it is the sense that you love Japan and are able to voice your opinions and criticism without losing that (common) sense that draws me... I appreciate your themes and will continue to look forward to your columns. You help me keep my head and my perspective." - letter from reader. Clean and unmarked. Slight lean to spine. Very nice copy. Book
