Sue that fvcker Golden! (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) | "I knew [these complaints] were inevitable," he says. "If someone writes a book about your 'family,' the closer it is to truth, the more you aren't going to like it." - Arthur S. Golden
What a lying scumbag!!!!
There are so many inaccuracies in the book, she laments. Real geishas don't tie men's shoes--maids do that. Real geishas don't take off from their training. Golden got the organization of the geisha house wrong, and misunderstood the painted smile of the traditional noh dancer, she says.
"The book is all about sex," she complains. "He wrote that book on the theme of women selling their bodies. It was not that way at all."
"In the field I was in, there was some sexual involvement, but it was not the basis of our work," she says. "Sexual involvement was only a small part of [the geisha's] services. Obviously our conversation, and dances that we performed, were more important.
"In Gion, the geikos usually saw their sponsor home, or up to the hotel, and helped him change into a robe. Until he gets into bed she is there. Then she says good night, and goes home.
"Obviously, there are geikos who want money, and if there is money to be made, the girl will sleep with the man. That happens in any field. But that is not the majority."
"I never did that," Mineko says. "I never sold my body. Men never touched me."
She should sue him and write her own AUTObiography. Obviously, Arthur twisted her story to make Geishas look more like tragic s*x slave victims of the oppressive evil Asian man. What a farce - this book should not be let stood and should be hotly contested and debunked. Not to mention Steven Spielberg's upcoming slated movie. It's too bad she trusted this guy - favor for a mutual friend or not. |
