Arthur Golden

"It is confusing, because in this culture we really don't have anything that corresponds to geisha. "
- Arthur Golden

Arthur Golden wrote the bestselling novel "Memoirs of a Geisha". I couldn't find any other books written by him, so "Memoirs of a Geisha" must be the only book that has managed to succeed and become world famous. He was born in 1956, Tennessee. He attended Harvard University, and became more and more interested in Japanese history, culture and art. He also learned Mandarin Chinese. He is currently living in Massachusetts with his son and daughter. To me, he is an excellent writer with ingenious words, so a new book by him would have made ​​me happy.
