Review

'An immaculate, limpid moral tale, beautifully translated into English.' --Financial Times

'Endo has the major novelist's genius for making out of his own and his culture's predicaments works of art of wholly universal relevance.' --Paul Binding, European

'There is nothing superfluous in Endo's writing; everything imparts meaning, reinforcing the central theme, giving more subtle shading to the whole. Foreign Studies is quite brilliant.' --Scotland on Sunday
