The Tilted Cup

Taking a series of eleven Japanese Noh plays and turning them into stories in English, this book features spirit-beings set free, lovers lost and found, dreams and desires fulfilled, lessons learned from nature, and always a longing for the infinite, as the long, slow drama of each Noh play is transformed into a short and moving tale.
