One of my absolute favorite books of all time. So glad I stole it from my summer school English teacher. I don't think I've ever read a book that has such a brilliantly engrossing narrative in my life. The fact that it's used for the purposes of a purely escapist, Japanophile novel is just the icing on the cake.
