Book Description
Tokyo is a city designed long ago as a maze to prevent easy assault on the central castle. Streets curve and loop back unexpectedly. Clear destinations shift and fade off like evaporating mirages. There are social convolutions in the way that the basest criminals can swing into alignment with the highest echelons of society. One naive American navigated the maze that is Tokyo for fifteen years. Some twists brought him unimagined sexual fulfillment. Other turns separated him from longtime friends. There were paths that led him to scenes of living history, others to a mirror world of opposite assumptions. But ultimately his life in Tokyo looped around like the Yamanote circle line and ended where it began. It began in a walk into Kabukicho--Tokyo's red-light district.

Neon Nevada
Author: Peter Laufer
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 076277570X
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
There is no neon to match Nevada’s. The combination of Wild West mythology and the remaining untamed pitch-black nighttime landscape, replete with real cowboys and real gambling, makes the Silver State a unique and appropriate canvas for neon art. Modern Nevada began with a nonstop desire for riches. It continues for many as a state of dreams often vividly expressed through exploding neon. Neon Nevada brings all this alive. Cameras in hand, authors Sheila Swan and Peter Laufer embarked on their first Nevada neon trek in the 1970s. They followed this up with a second nocturnal treasure hunt in the early 1990s—and a third in 2010, in the course of which they discovered that neon is fading fast; most notably on the Las Vegas Strip. Most of all, though, they realized that their passion for the art and craft of neon had not waned. A compelling blend of full-color photographs and absorbing prose, Neon Nevada takes us on a literal and figurative journey not only down the Las Vegas strip but also down quiet two-lane roads punctuated occasionally with neon signs, those glittering beacons of civilization against the desert night sky. The authors talk with sign owners, with those who created and maintained the neon, and those who collect it.
