Audrey Hepburn's Neck

Rich in observations of the cultures and mores of modern Japan, this is a sympathetic look at the isolation of a man whose best friend is a wealthy, gay American, whose girlfriends are always American, but whose parents do not speak to one another, nor to him, and who have offered him no hint of his own history. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will teach you things you didn't know about another country.
