Reviews
"Aficionados of history and literature should be excited about the new biography of Lafcadio Hearn. [...] Kemme ably covers Hearn's entire life with the same level of detail and insight. But this reporter concedes it is gratifying that his biography at last gives the Cincinnati chapter of Hearn's story its full share." -- Jeff Suess, The Cincinnati Enquirer, "All nations believed in the rebirth of the soul and had probably empirical evidence like that Lafcadio Hearn found among the Japanese." -- William Butler Yeats, "...Steve Kemme's enjoyable new biography [...] There has long been a good deal of interest in the indefatigable journeyings of Lafcadio Hearn; and there have been many good biographies of his life before this latest (and very good) one--but there is probably no better time than now to appreciate what his great-grandson calls Hearn's 'philosophy of tolerance' for other people, other cultures and other religious traditions. (In fact, it's possible to argue that Hearn enjoyed most cultural traditions more than he did his own.)" -- The Spectator, "...Steve Kemme's enjoyable new biography [...] There has long been a good deal of interest in the indefatigable journeyings of Lafcadio Hearn; and there have been many good biographies of his life before this latest (and very good) one--but there is probably no better time than now to appreciate what his great-grandson calls Hearn's 'philosophy of tolerance' for other people, other cultures and other religious traditions. (In fact, it's possible to argue that Hearn enjoyed most cultural traditions more than he did his own.)" The Spectator, "I had read a book about Japan by Lafcadio Hearn, and what he wrote about Japanese culture and their theatre aroused my desire to go there." Charlie Chaplin, " The Outsider brings out colorful personality of one of history's great Japanophiles." -- The Japan Times, "I had read a book about Japan by Lafcadio Hearn, and what he wrote about Japanese culture and their theatre aroused my desire to go there." -- Charlie Chaplin, "Hearn's writing was not only true on the surface but in depth; not only to his conscious thinking but also to the submerged feelings that gave their rhythms to his prose...Long before coming to Japan he had shown an instinct for finding in legends the permanent archetypes of human experience--that is the secret of their power to move us--and he later proved that he knew which tales to choose and which details to emphasize, in exactly the right English." -- Malcolm Cowley, "Hearn's writing was not only true on the surface but in depth; not only to his conscious thinking but also to the submerged feelings that gave their rhythms to his prose...Long before coming to Japan he had shown an instinct for finding in legends the permanent archetypes of human experience--that is the secret of their power to move us--and he later proved that he knew which tales to choose and which details to emphasize, in exactly the right English." Malcolm Cowley, "All nations believed in the rebirth of the soul and had probably empirical evidence like that Lafcadio Hearn found among the Japanese." William Butler Yeats

Synopsis
Step into the extraordinary life of the man who made an impact as an observer wherever he lived, and went on to become the leading western interpreter of Japan and Japanese culture--a position he still occupies today. Born in Greece and abandoned as a child, Lafcadio Hearn lived the life of an exile. He travelled the world and became a famous writer but always felt like an outsider--in Dublin, London, Cincinnati, New Orleans, and French-speaking Martinique. To him, none of these places felt like home. Hearn's life in America was punctuated by a string of successes and failures. In Cincinnati he became the city's best-known crime reporter but was fired after marrying a black woman. Devastated, he moved to New Orleans, where he championed French Creole and Caribbean culture and created the city's image as a place of voodoo and debauchery (the image which many Americans still hold today). Hearn arrived in Japan at a time of historic change. Sent there as a correspondent, he soon found himself alone and jobless. He settled in the remote town of Matsue, firmly believing that Japan would provide him with an endless supply of rich writing material--perhaps enough to last a lifetime. Over the next dozen years, Hearn published 15 books which were lauded by the likes of Mark Twain, William Butler Yeats, Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin. Hearn's books made him famous as the leading writer on Japan and Japanese culture. Discover the fascinating journey of Hearn's life and the series of events--from peaks to pitfalls--that shaped his remarkable story, including: His troubled childhood and emigration to America with no job or money His career as a popular newspaper writer and essayist in Cincinnati and New Orleans His life in Japan where he became a Buddhist, married the daughter of a Samurai and took the Japanese name Yakumo Koizumi Hearn's worldwide fame as a writer, especially for his works on ghosts, demons, monsters and the supernatural world of Japanese folklore Author Steve Kemme is president of the Lafcadio Hearn Society/USA and a leading expert on Hearn's life and writings. This book includes a foreword by Bon Koizumi, Hearn's great-grandson and director of the Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Museum in Matsue, Japan, along with 30 images which portray the pivotal people and places in Hearn's amazing life., Born in Greece and abandoned as a child, Lafcadio Hearn lived the life of an exile.
