His wingman, Straight Arrow, a Native American, lives two miles away, their bond as strong as ever. Straight Arrowas Japanese girlfriend Keiko, a netsuke dealer, disappears without a trace. The search for her leads from London to Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Australia, Taipei, and back to London. An organization they canat identify is trying to kill them, with politicians in Washington and New York lurking in the shadows, pulling the strings. Keiko coveted a mysterious netsuke of a mother bear cuddling her cub. All who had owned it had died violent deaths. All the more reason she had to have it. |

Netsuke $14.62 "There is the time before you open Rikki Ducornet’s "Netsuke" and then there is only the time in which you are reading–a searing present of heart-swallowing secrets, warped eroticism, betrayals, and insight trellised against the page in nightshade-gorgeous prose." –Forrest Gander "A novelist whose vocabulary sweats with a kind of lyrical heat." "–The New York Times" "Linguistically explosive. . . . Ducornet is one of the most interesting American writers around." "–The Nation" Ruled by his hunger for erotic encounters, a deeply wounded psychoanalyst seduces both patients and strangers with equal heat. Driven to compartmentalize his life, the doctor attempts to order and contain his lovers as he does his collection of rare netsuke, the precious miniature sculptures gifted to him by his wife. This riveting exploration of one psychoanalyst’s abuse of power unearths the startling introspection present within even the darkest heart. The author of eight novels as well as collections of short stories, essays, and poems, Rikki Ducornet has been a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, honored twice by the Lannan Foundation, and the recipient of an Academy Award in Literature. Widely published abroad, Ducornet is also a painter who exhibits internationally. She lives in Port Townsend, Washington. |
