In such influential stories as "The Garden Party‚" "Bliss‚" and "Prelude‚" Mansfield perfected her meticulous craft‚ examining the human condition in restrained and deceptively everyday prose.

Yamamoto‚ Tsunetomo Bushido: The Way of the Samurai Garden City Park‚ NY 2002 After reading this book it is my belief that it is important for Westerners to understand the seemingly strange concepts of Bushido‚ not only as a guide to events of the past‚ but as a primer for understanding the Japanese business mentality of today. The first thought that comes to mind when Japanese work ethic is hard working‚ no breaks‚ complete commitment to ones job. There may be a reason why Japan was able to
