Women on the Verge Japanese Women, Western Dreams

"Kelsky insightfully treats desire as a complicated and contradictory complex, something inspired as much by pragmatic as erotic concerns. The narratives she offers are rich and impressive and her skills as a fieldworker as well as command of the ethnographic scene in Japan are striking. This is a compelling, engaging, and important work."-Anne Allison, author ofNightwork: Sexuality, Pleasure, and Corporate Masculinity in a Tokyo Hostess ClubKelsky, Karen is the author of 'Women on the Verge Japanese Women, Western Dreams' with ISBN 9780822328162 and ISBN 082232816X.
