Roberta, Lang and their friends experience the great Japanese city
in all its manifestations to their inquiring, observing, and
wandering minds as they banter over the details of a party, a film,
Songs Common to Dreams, Tokyo's history, the Names of Love. Tokio
Whip is a distinctly stylistic Yamanote station-by-station
tour-de-force discovering the City of Language, the City as
Language.
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. This book 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Japanese film to the West in the late 1950s) and his unpublished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. With a critical introduction
and full bibliography. Donald Richie's many books include The Films
of Akira Kurosawa, The Japanese Tattoo, and the PBS favorite The
Inland Sea. Vienna resident Arturo Silva lived in Japan for 18
years. "To read [The Donald Richie Reader and The Japan Journals]
is like diving for pearls. 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
