Confessions of Love

"Chiyo's story is of special interest ... its narrative style is the offhand one that men use when speaking of crimes of the heart. This is what gives the book a wonderful, yelping humour instead of the sad world-weariness it might have had if narrated by a woman." --The Sunday Times, London "Uno Chiyo unflinchingly examines the experiences of modern life, and with a penetrating sincerity and a profound intellectual capacity to understand that life and its implications, has created literature that contextualizes her vision both historically and socially while making an intensely personal and dynamic statement. Her books are a joy to read, no matter how perplexing, provocative, or frightening they may be at times. Part of the fascination of Uno's writing is founded on the interplay of autobiographical/biographical fact with the contrary demands of fiction and art." --World Literature Today
