2. Well, I liked the book mostly
but, it's fiction.

Mineko Iwasaki, the geisha that he interviewed for the book was so disgusted and upset with Memoirs of a Geisha, that she wrote her own memoirs, Geisha: A Life. It's a much more realistic view of the geisha culture than what Memoirs gives.

3. Interesting that the
author claims the dictation is taken straight from the lady and written out by him.

Oh well often the truth is not what it seems to be.

Now I am a reluctant reader again.

Now I will delete this post.

Sigh
