- Autobiography of the Japanese avant-garde artist and writer Yayoi Kusama. She tells about her childhood and the first appearance of obsessive and haunting visions, after which she was hospitalized in Tokyo. From this base she emerged to create artworks and writings, that gave her international recognition. She also describes the period she lived in the United States and her relationships with other artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe and Andy Warhol. The autobiography is translated by Ralph McCarthy.
