Looking for the Lost: Journeys Through a Vanishing Japan. Alan Booth,
Kodansha USA, Inc., 1995.
 
In his final work Alan Booth takes us on a fascinating journey by foot through three remote regions of Japan to search for the country's geographic and spiritual heart - and for the elusive connections between present and past, self and society.
 
Looking for the Lost is a beautifully written, opinionated, and entertaining look at the life and slow death of a culture, and a poignant self-portrait of a writer also nearing death.
