Remembering Tanizaki Jun'ichiro and Matsuko is a must read for Tanizaki lovers. Once I started I couldn't put it down and found myself squealing with delight at each new morsel of detail about the life and opinions of Tanzaki and his remarkable third wife and muse, Matsuko. The book takes an unapologetically biographical, if not downright gossipy, approach. This perhaps makes it more of a book for fans than for scholars. For those of us who are both, it feels at times like a bit of a guilty pleasure. It is both a record and an example of the kind of fan-like devotion that Tanizaki continues to inspire."" - J. Keith Vincent, Boston University, and award-winning translator of Okamoto Kanoko's A Riot of Goldfish and Tanizaki's Devils in Daylight
