About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 I am 16 hours out of sync following last night’s flight, and when I draw back our thick gray curtains, I see just a few small white badges of light under a blue-ing sky. I slip on T-shirt and jeans in the dark and shuffle into loafers.
#2 I visit the Deer’s Slope neighborhood in Japan. The only house that takes up a full block is the one with the friendly old lady who sometimes opens the gate for a gangster.
#3 Autumn is the season when everything falls away. I turn around and begin to head back down the hill, through the silent village and up the stairs to my rectilinear neighborhood of vending machines and hair salons.
#4 I long to be in Japan in the autumn. For much of the year, my job, reporting on foreign conflicts and globalism on a human scale, forces me out onto the road. But I try to be back in Japan for the season of fire and farewells.
