Hi Claire, always love your essays, and especially love that you're in Japan. I have just resurrected my unpublished novel from the back of the hard drive, titled "The Long Reach of the Ancient Gods." It's about two geishas and their patrons who go white water rafting down the Colorado River. It's a very complex novel as one of the geishas is clairvoyant, and the American couple guiding/cooking for the trip are in cultural conflict with their clients. So, I love reading your experiences! Checking out my own research, as it were, with your wonderful observations.
