  Subject: Star of the Orient


  The New York Times Book Review has a review of Ian Buruma's new book  
  Star of the Orient, a novel about Yamaguchi Yoshiko based in part on  
  fact and part on fiction.

  http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/05/books/review/Hammer-t.html? 
  ei=5070&emc=eta1

  The book, the review says, shows how Buruma is "fascinated by the  
  power of the cinema in Japanese history, both as a cultural  
  touchstone and as a political tool used by conquering armies."

  A number of the characters are based on people we know (Sidney  
  Vanoven is clearly Donald Richie) and it seems we could all play the  
  game of trying to find out who is who.

  Has anyone read it yet?
