Last Boat to Yokohama tells a story of both tragedy and grandeur in
the 20th century. It recounts the life and work of Beate Sirota
Gordon: the influence of her father, Leo Sirota, one of the
greatest pianists of his generation; her secret work ensuring
women's equality while helping to develop the post-WWII Japanese
constitution at the age of 22; her broad influence on hundreds of
Western artists such as Robert Wilson, David Byrne and Peter
Sellars who were introduced to leading contemporary Asian music,
dance, theater and visual artists through her extraordinary
cross-cultural efforts. The book relives Beate's drive, talent,
ambition, and influence, with intimate diary excerpts from her
mother, an introduction by Beate herself, and an afterword from her
daughter, Nicole. Note: This edition is the Persian translation of
the English edition.
