Reviews

A Sense of the City is the first coherent study of Kafu which places the centrality of the city in his writings at the forefront. Overall, [it] is a complex and timely book, calmly written, unfashionable in theme, and thought provoking. Follaco's investigation of Kafu's notion of the urban and the narrative functions with which he charged it breaks new ground. -Evelyn Shulz, Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, in The Journal of Japanese Studies, Volume 46, Number 1, Winter 2020, pp. 239-244
