Though not nearly as inclusive as the title suggests, Professor Sumie Okada's small but earnest book does contain an amount of interpretation not elsewhere found.
Despite her title, she discusses only six writers: Soseki Natsume miserable in London, the Yosanos -- Hiroshi and Akiko -- in France and England, Yukio Mishima in unnamed foreign lands, Haruki Murakami at Princeton, and Shusaku Endo and his love affair in France. Not a word on Ogai Mori in Germany, Kafu Nagai in America and France, or Kenzaburo Oe abroad.
Perhaps one reason for this selectivity is that Okada has a thesis to demonstrate, and her samples best fit her conclusions. She avers that, though not alone in their affliction, the Japanese suffer from their group-dominated society, they suffer from what she calls "groupism."
