In 1980 Cathy N. Davidson traveled to Japan to teach English at a leading all-women’s university. It was the first of many journeys and the beginning of a deep and abiding fascination. In this extraordinary book, Davidson depicts a series of intimate moments and small epiphanies that together make up a panoramic view of Japan. With wit, candor, and a lover’s keen eye, she tells captivating stories—from that of a Buddhist funeral laden with ritual to an exhilarating evening spent touring the “Floating World,” the sensual demimonde in which salaryman meets geisha and the normal rules are suspended. On a remote island inhabited by one of the last matriarchal societies in the world, a disconcertingly down-to-earth priestess leads her to the heart of a sacred grove. And she spends a few unforgettable weeks in a quasi-Victorian residence called the Practice House, where, until recently, Japanese women were taught American customs so that they would make proper wives for husbands who might be stationed abroad. In an afterword new to this edition, Davidson tells of a poignant trip back to Japan in 2005 to visit friends who had remade their lives after the Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995, which had devastated the city of Kobe, as well as the small town where Davidson had lived and the university where she taught.
36 Views of Mount Fuji not only transforms our image of Japan, it offers a stirring look at the very nature of culture and identity. Often funny, sometimes liltingly sad, it is as intimate and irresistible as a long-awaited letter from a good friend.
散文式記錄,特彆喜歡裏麵對兩性的探討,當一個日本男教授邀請一個美國女教授去夜遊日本隱秘的灰色地帶,性彆、文化、身份差異交織在一起,美國女教授的“female”屬性被淡化。而那一夜之後的重逢、則更是充滿戲劇性和極其隱於內心的思想碰撞。
評分並不是一本標準的遊記,但這本書搞對瞭最重要的幾點:細緻得觀察,和自己文化的比較,不judgmental,尊重自己的感覺,謙虛但不失穩重的處事。作為迴憶錄來說,它沒有自大得去評價這個目的地,隻是對個人的感覺做齣詳盡的描述。要的就是這種書!
