While I don&#8217;t really really object to that, it annoys me somewhat, because there are many differences between China and Japan, and hello, geisha are from JAPAN. What is up with this interchangeability of Asians? I guess I should be more annoyed about the book itself, a fictitious account written by a white male (not that I am completely against white males writing about different cultures, but you know what I mean). I did read the book, and I have to admit there weren&#8217;t that many instances where I wanted to hurl the book across the room, but still, the whole geisha\/male fantasy thing is rather irksome.  Okay, rant over. I&#8217;m going to go dig around for some chocolate now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just wanted to say that I now have more reason to love Fred Flare.
