About this author

Josh Karaczewski has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area his whole life - save for a year studying architecture in Boston.

He majored in Art, taking English classes for fun.

His job teaching High School English keeps him from writing more than he would like to, but has its own rewards.

He has a fabulous marriage that has produced three fabulous children.

He enjoys reading, writing, art, film, and video games.

Visitors to his blog will find coupon codes, as well as extended book reviews, news, and other information useless and otherwise.

[reprinted from a previous review on my blog]

I enjoyed this curious work immensely - though it's hard to define: not quite self-help, but a sort of quasi-fictional anecdotal wisdom of Japanese folklore to be applied to our culture. Anyone with an int...more

add to my books
A quiet book of contrasting cultures that, over the course of the narrative, become closer to comparative. Doesn't have nearly the emotional weight and tension of Endo's "Silence", but is a rewarding book for the very patient.
