Mishima, Greene, and Abe: oh my!

A short note from the shop on this week's arrivals.

This week's collection exposes more of what makes the Vagabound tick: authors like Ishiguro, Mishima, Abe, Kawabata and, of course, Graham Greene. If you look through the catalog at-large, you'll already find a lot of Greene's books; anywhere the Vagabound goes, they're sure to have at least one in tow. As the weeks roll on, expect much more from several of the other authors in this drop: Mishima, Kawabata, and Abe make up a large part of the Vagabound fixation on modern Japanese fiction.
