...over, fate will get him to Pasadena. What an elder says of him was also true of Chahine: "The boy knows exactly what he wants. He'll make it." At the end he sails into New York Harbor and sees the Statue of Liberty as Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" plays on the sound track. He glimpses some Hassidic Jews on the deck below him, and the Statue morphs into a heavy-set actress he knew back home. She lets out a ribald laugh - just the reaction Chahine so often wanted from his audiences when they were faced with...
...American poet Frank O'Hara once wrote that "the light in Japan respects poets." It's easy to see his point with the Hyakunin Isshu. Moonlight, dawn light and fog-filtered daylight suffuse this anthology, illuminating scenes of delicate natural beauty. As McMillan notes in his introduction, the great Tokugawa-era painters Hon'ami Koetsu and Ogata Korin were but a few of the visual artists drawn to the poems. The latter illustrated one of the earliest and most famous karuta sets, as the major ukiyo-e (Floating World) artists - famed for their depictions of metropolitan life in Edo Japan...

Like Natsuo Kirino, whose best-selling 1997 novel Out chronicles a band of disaffected middle-aged bento-box factory workers who moonlight as murderesses, Nonami places women at the center of her work. As the author of some 50 books, she is more prolific than Kirino, although only one previous work has been translated into English. That's The Hunter, a fetching police procedural that follows Detective Takako Otomichi as she struggles...
...remember it just as clearly as when it happened. Our train from Auckland arrived at the National Park station and there was snow everywhere, there was snow on the railroad line and there was snow on the trees. It was a bright moonlit night, and the moonlight was a brilliant, marvelous sight to me and it was really the most exciting thing that ever happened to me up to that time - us rushing around skiing. I found I was reasonably energetic and I could rush around and make snow balls, whatever. That was really the start of my enthusiasm...
