Summary
Arthur Golden: Memoirs of a Geisha
A novel imbued with eroticism and exoticism, written with a refined sense of Japanese culture.
"I have to tell you something about necks in Japan, if you don't know it. Namely, Japanese men are, as a rule, very sensitive to women's necks and throats, just as Western men are sensitive to women's legs. This is the reason why geishas throw away collars her kimonos so low that the upper part of the spine is exposed; I suppose some woman in Paris wears a short skirt for the same reason." (Arthur Golden)
