Title: A Story of Finding One's Destiny
Review: Of course this book lives up to the reviews it has received - both from popular media as well as personal recommendations. It is a story of a particular life, and in it, a story of life. The Japanese way of looking at things - or rather, the author's rendition of the Japanese way of looking at things - is striking. Remarkable in that it is written by an American male born in 1957; unusual in its choice of narrator, especially for the pre- and post-war period it covers; sensitive; told without judgment; universal in its pull toward the unknowable: What is my destiny? How is it that my destiny is fulfilled? Why do some people seem to achieve theirs, most others don't? Why is there so much pain in achieving one's destiny?
