Amy Chavez speaks with Lesley Downer, an expert on Japanese culture and history who writes both fiction and non-fiction. Her novels transport readers to the intriguing world of 19th-century Japan, while her non-fiction takes us along the Narrow Road to the Deep North with poet Matsuo Basho; behind the scenes of the Japanese geisha community; and into the intrigues of the richest family in Japan. Today, she discusses her just-released The Shortest History of Japan: From Mythical Origins to Pop Culture Powerhouse, a concise yet detailed account of Japanese history.
