false 171241 2 A VIBRANT, MEDITATIVE MALK IN SEARCH OF THE SOUL OF JAPAN<br><br>Traveling by foot through mountains and villages, Alan Booth found a Japan far removed from the stereotypes familiar to Westerners. Whether retracing the footsteps of ancient warriors or detailing the encroachments of suburban sprawl, he unerringly finds the telling detail, the unexpected<br>transformation, the everyday drama that brings this remote world to life on the page. Looking for the Lost is full of personalities, from friendly gangsters to mischievous children to the author himself, an expatriate who found in Japan both his true home and dogged exile. Wry, witty, sometimes<br>angry, always eloquent, Booth is a uniquely perceptive guide. <br><br>Looking for the Lost is a technicolor journey into the heart of a nation. Perhaps even more significant, it is the self-portrait of one man, Alan Booth, exquisitely painted in the twilight of his own life. 165358 1995 Looking for the Lost: Journeys Through a Vanishing Japan (Kodansha Globe) total:36|5:0|4:1|3:1|2:0|1:0| 36 147 55 8 3 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1994 Sat Jun 21 17:05:48 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 03 04:37:58 -0700 2008 ...more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 12:31:23 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 12:36:09 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Sat May 02 14:49:29 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 14:49:40 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Oct 10 13:58:16 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 10 14:01:05 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Mon May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Thu Apr 10 07:41:40 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 10 07:41:40 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jul 07 23:29:18 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 23:30:17 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 28 08:28:36 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 12:04:35 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sun Apr 08 21:50:26 -0700 2007 Sun Apr 15 19:52:58 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Mon Oct 26 22:06:47 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 22:06:47 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Oct 04 10:02:41 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 10:02:41 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Sep 06 23:38:29 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 23:38:29 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Aug 28 16:25:50 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 16:25:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 10 20:08:47 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 20:08:47 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Aug 03 00:10:07 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 15:24:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 29 20:38:31 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 20:39:19 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 14:52:51 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 14:55:36 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue May 05 18:12:07 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 18:12:07 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Mar 15 21:18:21 -0700 2009 Thu Feb 26 10:13:14 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 15 21:18:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 19 20:43:36 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 20:43:36 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 25 15:41:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 15:41:46 -0800 2009
