This book goes straight into my all time favorite list - my "ever" "all time" favorite list. I rarely dream about books or passages (or visual graphic images) from books.....this one I have dreamt and meditated upon through the last 2 weeks.
Its one of the most brilliant explorations of frailty and mortality, and of course the tragic beauty of Kyoto.
Pico Iyer will remain one of my favorite authors, and Kyoto will forever remain a romance in my head.
Go for it. 11 by 10 as I say for such books. One to re-read many times before you die.
At 256 pages brings my 2019 reading total to 3074 pages.
