Praise for Kitano's BOY:
"The beginnings of Kitano's intense and personal style can be seen in the three early stories contained in Boy. They offer insights into the later films and they have been extremely well translated by David James Karashima, who beautifully captures both the deadpan drollery and the wistful sentimentality." --Donald Richie, The Japan Times
"Kitano tells the tales simply and directly, avoiding flowery descriptions and clichéd melodrama, instead creating captivating stories that are subtle yet strongly visual. . . . Much like the boys grow up in the book, these tales will grow on you." --Mark Rifkin, This Week in New York (twi-ny.com)
