This is an intelligent and authoritative work, covering everything from adultery to sex volunteers and the role of fortune tellers in Japanese romance. It is at once illuminating and entertaining, credible and so engrossing you will find it difficult to put down. -- Robert Whiting, author of Tokyo Underworld, The Meaning of Ichiro and You Gotta Have Wa Kawakami's essays are] brilliantly written, and a perfect example of how similar bad marriages are, regardless of their setting.
Often disturbing, always intriguing and insightful, these intimate portraits in Goodbye Madame Butterfly reveal the struggles and complexities of modern Japanese women.
