Download or read book The Japanese Wife written by Kunal Basu and published by Harpercollins. This book was released on 2009-08-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Indian man writes to a Japanese woman. She writes back. Romance blossoms between the two, the pen-friends exchange vows over letters, then spend the next fifteen years as a married couple without ever setting eyes on each other, until the intimacy of words is tested finally by the intimacy of life. Like The Japanese Wife, the other stories in this collection are also about residents and non-residents. In Grateful Ganga, an American rock queen shares her love tunes with a Punjabi businessman even as she mourns her dead husband; in Snakecharmer, a retired Israeli American professor arrives in India with the intention of committing suicide, only to be saved by a snakecharmers daughter. Father Tito, the emigre Yugoslav of Father Titos Onion Rings, is haunted by the Holocaust as he intercedes between Hindu and Muslim rioters. The stories here are about unexpected love and accidental gifts; about finding oneself among strangers; about living elsewhere and living in ones dreams. They parade a full cast of priests, whores, rebels, dead emperors, bush soldiers, poachers, conmen and connoisseurs-angels and demons rubbing shoulders with those whose lives are never quite as ordinary as they seem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Married to a Zen monk in training, an American woman in Japan chronicles her own year of growth and discovery In February 2004, when her American husband, a recently ordained Zen monk, leaves home to train for a year at a centuries-old Buddhist monastery, Tracy Franz embarks on her own year of Zen. An Alaskan alone—and lonely—in Japan, she begins to pay attention. My Year of Dirt and Water is a record of that journey. Allowed only occasional and formal visits to see her cloistered husband, Tracy teaches English, studies Japanese, and devotes herself to making pottery. Her teacher instructs her to turn cup after cup—creating one failure after another. Past and present, East and West intertwine as Tracy is twice compelled to return home to Alaska to confront her mother’s newly diagnosed cancer and the ghosts of a devastating childhood. Revolving through the days, My Year of Dirt and Water circles hard questions: What is love? What is art? What is practice? What do we do with the burden of suffering? The answers are formed and then unformed—a ceramic bowl born on the wheel and then returned again and again to dirt and water.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Pimp Wife is the raw, lasciviously juicy tale of how my loving wife evolved into a cold, heartless pimp and the core primary reason that I chose to write this book is that, as A Grand Inquisitor Level Pimpnological Decryptologist, in the public interest, I wanted to write about one of the more common, yet rarely recognized, ominous aspects of earnestly aspiring to be a true master Pimp.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agastya Sen, known to friends by the English name August, is a child of the Indian elite. His friends go to Yale and Harvard. August himself has just landed a prize government job. The job takes him to Madna, “the hottest town in India,” deep in the sticks. There he finds himself surrounded by incompetents and cranks, time wasters, bureaucrats, and crazies. What to do? Get stoned, shirk work, collapse in the heat, stare at the ceiling. Dealing with the locals turns out to be a lot easier for August than living with himself. English, August is a comic masterpiece from contemporary India. Like A Confederacy of Dunces and The Catcher in the Rye, it is both an inspired and hilarious satire and a timeless story of self-discovery.

Book excerpt: Winner of the Agatha Award. "Sujata Massey blasts her way into fiction with The Salaryman's Wife, a cross-cultural mystery of manners with a decidedly sexy edge."-- Janet Evanonich Japanese-American Rei Shimura is a 27-year-old English teacher living in one of Tokyo's seediest neighborhoods. She doesn't make much money, but she wouldn't go back home to California even if she had a free ticket (which, thanks to her parents, she does.) She's determined to make it on her own. Her independence is threatened however, when a getaway to an ancient castle town is marred by murder. Rei is the first to find the beautiful wife of a high-powered businessman, dead in the snow. Taking charge, as usual, Rei searches for clues by crashing a funeral, posing as a bar-girl, and somehow ending up pursued by police and paparazzi alike. In the meantime, she attempts to piece together a strange, ever-changing puzzle—one that is built on lies and held together by years of sex and deception. The first installment in the Rei Shimura series, The Salaryman's Wife is a riveting tale of death, love, and sex, told in a unique cross-cultural voice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What began as a tribute to his late wife, Helene, developed into a chronicle of George Hayakawa's life with her, and a family history recorded for posterity. A charming and honest portrait of married life and the Japanese-American immigrant experience.In December 1951, Hayakawa enlisted in the US Air Force and in 1954 was stationed at Haneda Air Base, Tokyo, Japan. On his first visit to the popular Mimatsu Cabaret, he fortuitously met Yoshie Saito, a Denden Kosha clerical worker who was also a fabulous dancer. Despite being a terrible dancer himself and speaking almost no Japanese, Hayakawa convinced Yoshie to dance with him again...and again! At the close of the evening, she agreed to meet him for a date the next week. After two years of dating, the couple married, beginning their life of 59 years together. The decades brought them two children-Todd and Helen-multiple moves between Japan and Hawai'i, and long careers for both in the travel industry. Along the way, the former Yoshie adopted the name "Helene" after gaining her American citizenship, the family experienced the sad loss of Todd in a swimming accident and welcomed the adoption of granddaughter Hannah by Helen and her husband, David. Hayakawa does not shy away from presenting a straightforward portrait of the couple's life, their triumphs and joys, as well as his own shortcomings when it came to connecting emotionally with his family.Helene Yoshie is a tribute to its namesake, as well as Hayakawa's way of honoring her patience, strength and compassion. It was through Helene's help that Hayakawa reconnected with his familial roots in Japan. As the last of his family's line, this chronicle of the Hayakawa history is also his way of carrying on their legacy.

When twenty-eight-year-old Joji first lays eyes upon the teenage waitress Naomi, he is instantly smitten by her exotic, almost Western appearance. Determined to transform her into the perfect wife and to whisk her away from the seamy underbelly of post-World War I Tokyo, Joji adopts and ultimately marries Naomi, paying for English and music lessons that promise to mold her into his ideal companion. But as she grows older, Joji discovers that Naomi is far from the naïve girl of his fantasies. And, in Tanizaki’s masterpiece of lurid obsession, passion quickly descends into comically helpless masochism.
