	Powell's Books - Memoirs of a Geisha Movie Tie In by Arthur Golden
		In his introduction, Golden recalls how 'curious' it was for him to walk around a full-scale geisha district of the 1930s built on a field in California and know that such a detailed set grew out of his grueling experience writing the novel.
		A history of the geisha comes next, and then a portfolio of images from the film, some quite striking (such as the one of geisha practicing movements with fans, hair down, relaxed in their dressing robes and lit from behind).
		Golden's internationally bestselling literary tour de force is now the subject of Columbia Picture/DreamWorks's film adaptation, starring Ziyi Zhang ("House of Flying Daggers") and directed by Rob Marshall ("Chicago"), set for nationwide release on December 9.

	'Memoirs of a Geisha' - A talk with Arthur Golden - March 23, 1999
		ARTHUR GOLDEN: Geisha because when I was living in Japan, I met a fellow whose mother was a geisha, and I thought that was kind of fascinating and ended up reading about the subject just about the same time I was getting interested in writing fiction.
		GOLDEN: She was very forthcoming with me. And, truthfully, what geisha don't talk about and what they don't want people to know about is their customers.
		GOLDEN: That's the question that I've had sort of the most fun with over the last year, because I was working very hard to make it look like I didn't really write this book, it was just dictated by a geisha and I wrote it down.

		Perhaps Arthur Golden's book "Memoirs of a Geisha" can help some of us westerns to begin to understand the interesting culture of the traditional Japanese Geisha.
		Arthur Golden's novel "Memoirs of a Geisha" can be purchased from Amazon.Com in book or audiocassette.
		Still, Golden has won the triple crown of fiction: he has created a plausible female protagonist in a vivid, now-vanished world, and he gloriously captures Japanese culture by expressing his thoughts in authentic Eastern metaphors.

		This meeting inspired Golden to spend 10 years researching every detail of geisha culture, chiefly relying on the geisha Mineko Iwasaki, who spent years charming the very rich and famous.
		Golden's web is finely woven, but his book has a serious flaw: the geisha's true romance rings hollow--the love of her life is a symbol, not a character.
		Golden schafft es, den weiblichen Hauptcharakter des Buches sehr plastisch und glaubhaft zu schildern und die Irrungen und Wirrungen, die Höhen und Tiefen ihrer Lebens- und Liebesgeschichte ziehen den Leser schnell in ihren Bann.

	Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden - Review - A BUTTERFLY WITH CLIPPED WINGS
		I had never read Arthur Golden before, although I was tempted to read this book through recommendation.
		Arthur Golden doesn't do this and even though the words are Japanese, the meaning of each of them has a wonderful clarity and purpose to the whole experience of reading it.
		Chiyo's life story would be a huge giveaway, so I am avoiding that within this review, since a reader needs to discover for themselves how her life progresses, the customs that make her road a very harsh one, moments of pleasure, moments of loyalty to other characters as they are introduced throughout the story.

	Books: Arthur Golden (The Boston Phoenix . 10-13-97)
		Now that the memoir bandwagon is sagging under all those late pilers-on, Golden has the audacity not only to write a novel completely divorced from the autobiographical, but to then frame it as a memoir.
		But Golden, a Brookline resident with degrees in Japanese history and English, has the talent to justify his chutzpah.
		All of which Golden portrays with a seamless authority that's astounding in a first novel.

	Arthur Golden Memoirs of a Geisha \| Harry W. Schwartz Bookshops
		"A scholar of Japanese art and history, Golden is intimate with his material, and it shows in his reconstruction of Gion in the 1930s and '40s....Sayuri's voice never falters--it is, to the end, utterly consistent.
		"Arthur Golden's MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA is as exotic as a moonscape and as accessible and old-shoe comfortable as PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
		The ritual culture of the geisha seems utterly alien, as remote from contemporary experience as foot-binding or arranged marriages, yet Golden pegs his first novel to such a recognizable set of dilemmas that its initially foreign landscape is made utterly familiar....Golden's storytelling is rich and slow-paced.

		Memoirs of a Geisha (Penguin ELT Simplified Readers: Level 6: Advanced: 3000 Headwords) by Arthur Golden
		'Memoirs of a Geisha' is an engaging read; however there is a tendency for Golden's descriptive prose to lapse into the unimaginative and hackeneyed due to its over-reliance on Japanese imagery,which is understandable but, ultimately, felt quite hollow.
		It is also not particularly well-paced and does feel as if it's losing momentum towards the end of the novel and there's a sense that all loose ends need to be tied up and a 'happy ending' must be ensured.

	Memoirs of a Geisha - Rotten Tomatoes (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Arthur Golden's blockbuster bestseller, MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA, has been brilliantly brought to the big screen by Oscar-nominated director Rob Marshall (CHICAGO).
		The film opens in a remote Japanese fishing village in 1929, where two sisters, Chiyo and Satsu, are sold by their troubled father to people who place Chiyo in a classy geisha house known as an okiya in Gion and Satsu in a much more vulgar and dangerous district.
		Though Spielberg once almost took the helm, the picture that we have here indicates that Marshall was the perfect man to bring Arthur Golden's amazing best seller to the screen.

		For beneath the white mask of the geisha the layers of paint blend seamlessly until it becomes impossible to determine where the mask ends and life begins.
		With cinematic skill, Arthur Golden fills the stage of his first novel with the exotic players of an oriental drama.
		With a plot that rivals Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, the reader becomes engrossed in the action, unaware of turning yet another page as he or she follows the twists and turns of the stream of Sayuri's life as it searches its path over a stony bed.
