Description
Don Ascher is a young American living in Kyoto in the 1970s. He is a student of Japanese. He also teaches English, works at a shabu-shabu restaurant, and hangs out in the company of gangsters, hostesses, housewives, tea teachers, and fellow foreigners. Set amidst the timeless beauty of the ancient capital and its garish modern entertainments, this collection of fanciful episodes from Don’s life is a window into Japanese culture and a chronicle of romance and human connections.

Praise for Sharing a House with the Never-Ending Man: 15 Years at Studio Ghibli
“It’s a fabulous book. Informative and illuminating.”
—Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods, Sandman, and The Ocean at the End of the Lane
“An insider’s view of how cultural products are translated and transformed, also how art and commerce collide in the world of cinema.”
—Japan Forward
“A comedic and detailed portal into what it was like to work with one of the world’s most influential animators.”
— Metropolis Magazine
“An utterly priceless insider account, loaded with shouting matches, dastardly deals, moments of searing creative wisdom and fist-gnawing awkwardness. Ghibli, and anime, will never look the same again.”
—Jonathan Clements, author of Anime: A History
