9. Geisha, A Life, by Mineko Iwasaki 16 months ago

The modern story of a true geisha, the only time in the 300-year history of geisha that a woman has come forward to tell her story. Fascinating.

I always wanted them to be whores.

And when I found out they weren’t, back in high school, maybe, I was pretty disappointed.

Awwww....soo sad.

Not really. You’re right about that.

However, if you want to read about geisha gettin’ out there, read Memoirs of a Geisha. It was written by a man. The movie is artistically brilliant (although lacking in plot). I swear, though, that the author “borrowed” from Geisha a Life, the details were so similar.
