Audrey Hepburn's Neck by Alan Brown
'Extraordinarily evocative of the mishmash of cultures and mores which is modern Japan ...Alan Brown captures, with great sympathy, the isolation of a man whose best friend is a wealthy, gay American, whose girlfriends are always American, but whose parents do not speak to one another, nor to him, and who have offered him no hint of his own history ...a lovely book. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it taught me lots I did not know about another country. You cannot ask much more of a novel' The Times
