Reviews
Rosen is an Art Buchwald in the making. His essays re-awakened the sense of awe I felt as a child reading about cultures other than my own,in a world that seemed much larger and mysterious than it does today.
This is a must read for anyone who has ever visited Japan, wished to visit Japan or just need a breath of fresh air and smile on their face.
