An evocative, definitive work on Kyoto, the most beautiful city in Japan.
Alex Kerr is an American writer, antiques collector and
Japanologist. Lost Japan is his most famous work. He was the first
foreigner to be awarded the Shincho Gakugei Literature Prize for
the best work of non-fiction published in Japan.
Kathy Arlyn Sokol is a non-fiction author, interviewer and Emmy
award-winning narrator who has spent over 30 years in Kyoto. Her
book RasTa Time on Bob Marley's life & legacy will soon be released
in English.
By exposing the convenient demarcations which define Kyoto, Alex
Kerr and Kathy Sokol have deconstructed Kyoto cliche´s and in the
process have produced a surprising and refreshing addition to Kyoto
lore.
... Kerr and Sokol have performed a minor miracle by presenting
that which is present in Kyoto as that which we have yet to see. I
know that I will never pass a wall, or tread a floor, or sit on
tatami the same way again.
... Another Kyoto is a kind of rapturous rupture which explodes the
field of cultural, social, and poetic possibilities.
