A Fascinating Read

I found this book to be a wonderfully written and fascinating collection of short stories about the author's encounter with people that he met whilst he was living in Japan.His stories have been written in a "matter of fact" way - and at first they seem impersonal but as you read further into the stories they become very personal and you get drawn into the lives of these people.I came away from reading this book feeling as though I had a more personal and in-depth glance into the lives and minds of the Japanese more so than what any other book has given me.
