A 33-year-old American drifter and Vietnam War veteran has just arrived in Japan seeking one more adventure and an escape from his past. A promiscuous, rebellious, 23-year-old Japanese woman has just returned from a two-year homestay in a Canadian mission, where she was sent by her parents to cure her suicidal behavior. A snobbish, upper-class, 22-year-old Japanese woman who cannot distinguish between fantasy and reality is about to graduate from university and enter the frightening world of adulthood. Three people searching for a place to belong. Three people dancing on a psychological highwire. Three people about to become enmeshed in a relationship that will change each of their lives forever. \u003cp\u003e\"Goes beyond the \u003ci\u003egaijin\u003c\/i\u003e experience...evokes the rootlessness felt by young Japanese uncertain about their future.\"--The Japan Times \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Crafted in excellent style and patiently honed...the Japanese characters are wholly convincing.\"--Kansai Time Out Magazine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert W.
