He went to Harvard college and earned a degree in Art History, while specializing in Japanese art. He also went on to receive an M.A in Japanese History at Columbia University. He also learned Mandarin Chinese. He then went across seas to Beijing University for a summer and then began to work in Tokyo before moving back to the United States. Once he got back to the states he earned an M.A. in English from Boston University. He hasn't written any other novels.
His writing style is one that utilizes alot of imagery. He is very descriptive with the small details and uses setting to bring the reader farther into the story along side the characters.
