A disabled foreigner in Japan, a society historically hostile to
difference, Kenny Fries finds himself on a journey of profound
self-discovery. As he visits gardens, experiences Noh and butoh,
and meets artists and scholars, he discovers disabled gods,
one-eyed samurai, blind chanting priests, and atomic bomb
survivors. When he is diagnosed as HIV positive, all his
assumptions about Japan, the body, and mortality are shaken,
requiring him to find a way to reenter life on new terms.
