[close] We start off 2021 with a bang, with Karen Hill Anton's recently released memoir, The View from Breast Pocket Mountain. Anton started out in New York City and traveled the world before arriving in Japan in 1975. She boasts an illustrious career as a columnist for The Japan Times and the Chunichi Shimbun, as well as cross-cultural competence consulting - all while raising four bilingual children in rural Japan. Her story is a unique and fascinating retelling of a life well-lived.
