Not to insult Mr. Barry, but I was really surprised and gratified by his insightful and realistic portrayal of Japan from a visitor's perspective. He really nailed how language can be a barrier - forget deep understanding, just getting by can be a huge hurdle. Though he is always looking (stretching) for the comic angle, it is an affectionate and respectful portrait.

Unjacketed cloth binding, $50.00 Paper binding, $20.00 Inventing New Orleans Writings of Lafcadio Hearn Edited and with an Introduction by S. Frederick Starr The best from the pen that created the american notion of the Big Easy Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) prowled the streets of New Orleans from 1877 to 1888 before moving on to a new life and global fame as a chronicler of Japan. Hearn's influence on our perceptions of New Orleans, however, has unjustly remained unknown. In ten years of serving as a correspondent and selling his writing in such periodicals as the New Orleans Daily Item Times-Democrat Harper's Weekly , and Scribner's Magazine he crystallized the way Americans view New Orleans and its south Louisiana environs. Hearn was prolific, producing colorful and vivid sketches, vignettes, news articles, essays, translations of French and Spanish literature, book reviews, short stories, and woodblock prints. He haunted the French Quarter to cover such events as the death of Marie Laveau. His descriptions of the seamy side of New Orleans, tainted with voodoo, debauchery, and mystery made a lasting impression on the nation. Denizens of the Crescent City and devotees who flock there for escapades and pleasures will recognize these original tales of corruption, of decay and benign frivolity, and of endless partying. With his writing, Hearn virtually invented the national image of New Orleans as a kind of alternative reality to the United States as a whole.

Cloth binding, $22.00 Chita A Memory of Last Island By Lafcadio Hearn Edited by Delia LaBarre With an introduction by Jefferson Humphries A lush, evocative novel about a mysterious girl who survives a devastating hurricane in old Louisiana Credit: Drawing of Lafcadio Hearn, Harper's Weekly On 10 August 1856 the Gulf of Mexico reared up and hurled itself over Last Island, near New Orleans. The storm essentially split the island in half and swept much of it away, including its inhabitants, wealthy vacationers, and its resort hotel. There were few survivors. Lafcadio Hearn used these basic historical facts to create Chita . Originally published in 1889, this long out-of-print novella is a minor masterpiece that is by turns mysterious, mesmerizing, and tragic. In the aftermath of the storm, a Spanish fisherman wades into the Gulf to pick through debris. Among the bodies, he finds one that is yet alive, a young Creole girl. Her parents are presumed to have died in the storm. Raised by the fisherman's family, Chita grows into a strong, independent young woman. Her story is counterpointed by that of her lost father, a doctor who thinks that his daughter is dead and, as a result, devotes himself to helping others in need. When he comes to Last Island to help stem a yellow fever epidemic, he encounters Chita. The consequences are devastating.

What a fool I was! By faithfully following that dictum, I found myself betrayed. . . . "Know thyself, know thy Japan first!" Retour au Japon Many Japanese writers' returns to Japan from a real or spiritual pilgrimage to the West seem to follow a psychological pattern. I would like to discuss this phenomenon by using the American writer Lafcadio Hearn's "A Conservative," as the story poignantly describes a typical case of a modern Japanese intellectual's return to a Japan of nostalgia from his pilgrimage to an idealized Europe and America. First let me explain how I have earlier approached the problem and how I am going to deal with it in this paper. For the

Lafcadio Coffee Our coffees are a reproduction of the taste and flavor of Lafcadio Hearn's favorite coffee. Our aim in undertaking this reproduction was to pay tribute to the master writer for his love of Matsue, but also to compliment our customers with the Meiji romance in modern time. To find out the most likely coffee Hearn (Yakumo Koizumi) might have drank while in Matsue, our company spent years of investigation in collaboration with Hearn's great-grandson, Mr. Bon Koizumi. The findings suggest that Hearn liked coffees of Old Java Mocha and Santos beans, and he liked heavy roast coffees. As a matter of fact, in a letter to his best friend, Hearn says he used to take black coffee for breakfast. In his works alsofor instance, La Cuisine Creole he mentioned related coffee drinking habits.

Books : Two Years in the French West Indies Lafcadio Hearn Foreword by Raphael Confiant "And day by day the artlessness of this exotic humanity touches you more; - day by day this savage, somnolent, splendid Nature, delighting in furious color, bewitches you more." In October 1887 the writer and translator Lafcadio Hearn sailed from New York to Martinique, where he fell under the spell of the island and its people. Intending to stay only a few months, he remained there for two years, immersed in Martinique's vibrant culture and tropical beauty. The result was one of the most detailed and poetic accounts of day-to-day life in the Caribbean ever written. Hearn, who was later to win fame for his ground-breaking books about Japan, viewed French-ruled Martinique as an exotic fusion of European, African and Asian influences, the Creole society par excellence . Describing the island's landscape, its flora and fauna, its colonial architecture and rural villages, he provides an invaluable picture of a Caribbean colony where slavery was a recent memory and race an all-important matter of identity.

Rating: Weighted - 8.05 / Average - of 10 (1 votes) Comments: show them Biography: Born on the Ionian coast of Leucadia (hence his given name), Lafcadio Hearn learned his first prayers in Italian and demotic Greek, studied in England and France, and became a Japanese subject at the age of forty-six - he is now buried in a Buddhist cemetary in Tokyo. Lafcadio Hearn could have chosen any of a number of different nationalities, but he always considered himself an American writer - his parents' homeland was the United States. His subject matter, though, was the Orient: not the Orient of chinoiseries and local colour, but the other, more secret and quiet universe rarely discovered by foreigners. He acquired a profound knowledge of Japanese history and culture and became so immersed in these traditions that today the younger Japanese consider him too traditional for their taste.
