In the Province of the Gods, Paperback / softback Book

In the Province of the Gods Paperback / softback

Part of the Living Out: Gay and Lesbian Autobiographies series

Paperback / softback

Description

Kenny Fries embarks on a journey of profound self-discovery as a disabled foreigner in Japan, a society historically hostile to difference.

As he visits gardens, experiences Noh and butoh, and meets artists and scholars, he also discovers disabled gods, one-eyed samurai, blind chanting priests, and A-bomb survivors.

When he is diagnosed as HIV positive, all his assumptions about Japan, the body, and mortality are shaken, and he must find a way to reenter life on new terms.
