A New York Times Bestseller Imagine that there are American MIAs who chose to remain missing after the Vietnam War. Imagine that there is a family in which four generations of strong, alluring women have shared a mysterious connection to an outlandish figure from Japanese folklore. This is a book about identity, masquerade, and disguise. About "the false mustache of the world" -- but neither the mists of Laos nor the smog of Bangkok, neither the overcast of Seattle nor the fog of San Francisco, can obscure the linguistic phosphor that illuminates the pages of Villa Incognito.
