Advance Reading Copy. "I may have spent most of my life in New Jersey, but the blood of a geisha courses through me yet." So writes Mako Yoshikawa in this extraordinary debut novel .... the story of a woman who, finding herself torn between two men and two cultures, turns for answers to an unknown Japanese grandmother, once a famous geisha. If Kiki Takehashi's life is dramatically different from the one lived by her reserved Japanese-American mother, it is light-years away from that of her grandmother, whom she knows only through old family stories. Kiki has recently become engaged to Eric, a handsome, successful lawyer in New York City. But at the same time she is haunted--quite literally--by the memory of her friend Phillip, killed the previous year in a mountaineering accident. As Kiki herself is well aware, her incessant mourning for Phillip--her love of a ghost--is endangering her chance at real-life happiness with Eric. Yet her relationship with Eric is also complicated by her fear that he is attracted to her only because of his erotic fascination with Asian women. Kiki has never so much as met her grandmother, the woman for whom she is named. Still, thoroughly American though she is, she feels a secret kinship with the nearly legendary Yukiko, whose impoverished family sold her as a young girl to a geisha house. Kiki is swept up by the story of this strong, proud, passionate woman who, against all odds, in a time and place far different from her own, found the love that has so far eluded the rest of the Takehashi women. For years, Kiki has collected questions to ask her grandmother--queries on subjects ranging from love, loss, and family to the myth of exoticism which hangs over Asian-American women and geishas alike. In the wake of Phillip's return as a ghost, Kiki awaits Yukiko's imminent visit to America with a renewed eagerness, trusting that this unknown woman will provide answers to the mysteries of her past and guide her on her way into the future.

16mo, br. ed. 208pp. Un enigma della camera chiusa. Doppio omicidio nella dépendance della grande magione degli Ichiyanagi, ricchi e influenti possidenti. Il primogenito Kenzo, assieme alla giovane moglie, è ritrovato sgozzato, immersi i due corpi in un lago di sangue, nello stesso giorno delle nozze. L'ambiente dove è avvenuto il delitto è ermeticamente chiuso dall'interno, e l'arma del delitto, una spada tradizionale giapponese, giace a terra fuori dalla porta. Un brivido di terrore in più, che raggela gli abitanti della dimora, viene dal suono inspiegabile, nelle tardissime ore della notte, di un antico strumento a corde, il koto (il narratore della vicenda si riferisce ad essa come al «caso del koto stregato»). E nei dintorni si aggira uno strano personaggio, il viso sfregiato e solo tre dita nella mano, le cui impronte si trovano dappertutto. Yokomizo Seishi, massimo esponente del crime nipponico, attivissimo nei decenni di metà secolo scorso nell'epoca d'oro del giallo deduttivo, aveva una passione per il sottogenere della camera chiusa, tanto da essere soprannominato il «John Dickson Carr giapponese». In comune con il suo omologo anglosassone, aveva la capacità di tinteggiare le atmosfere di un terrore che sfiorava il soprannaturale, oltre al talento di ideare «miracoli criminali». Gli ingredienti essenziali di questo sottogenere sono tre. La tensione del mistero inspiegabile che si scioglie con la scoperta del geniale marchingegno dell'assassino. L'ambientazione suggestiva: come è appunto quella inusuale, tenebrosa, alquanto esotica del mondo dei grandi ex feudatari nipponici. E infine il fascino del bizzarro investigatore: e quello di Yokomizo Seishi, il detective privato Kindaichi Kósuke, è giovanissimo, un ventenne, di piccola statura, trasandato nel vestire quasi oltre la decenza, presuntuoso a rasentare lo sprezzo.
