LUKE RHINEHART : WHITE WIND, BLACK RIDER before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised WHITE WIND, BLACK RIDER:

The Imagery StaysBy Sebastian GerberLuke Rhinehart's 'The Dice Man' is probably my favourite work of fiction, so after I read that I was very excited about the prospect of reading his other books. I have been disappointed with several of them and at first I was with 'White Wind, Black Rider' but as time passed and I found my mind drifting back to it, I found I had some strong images of scenes and landscapes described in the story, which fascinates me enough to recommend this as one to read.Of course imagery alone doesn't necessarily make a great book, but there is also a grace to the story with its simplicity and other-worldly themes of warriors and fair maidens in distress.Well worth it for the curious and fans of Luke Rhinehart, though very different from 'The Dice Man'.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. American release of Matari from 1975By Zis is a penDon't really know where the title came from as it certainly didn't clue me in that I was buying a book I already possessed.It appears that the author, or someone with the rights (as Rhinehart is rather elusive) scanned a copy of the original edition and is selling this as a book-on-demand.I would recommend anyone who is really interested in this title to find a used copy of Matari, as this edition is filled with scanning errors which unquestionable detract from the pleasure in reading it. It appears that the edition of "Whim" available at .com is also printed in the same process, though I haven't purchased that edition. It is still available as "Adventures of Wim" on .co.uk. The book itself is not one of Rhinehart's best, though it is an interesting fairy tale set in an ambiguous eastern land.

Oboko finds Matari like a blur of darkness lying in the snow of a blizzard. After he carries her lifeless body into an ancient abandoned temple he is astonished when she opens her eyes. What had seemed a frozen lump of silk is transformed into a beautiful woman. Matari says softly, "I didn't die." Thus begins the most dramatic and moving of Luke Rhinehart's books. He has woven an exciting story of three samurai and the beautiful woman they each love, trapped by their very virtues into deadly conflict. Oboko is the poet of the wind, a peace-loving student of Zen; Izzi, the lusty, life-loving court poet on his way to serve the great Lord Arishi, a proud samurai who has vowed to kill Matari, who he believes has been unfaithful. When Lord Arishi's samurai pursue them, Oboko, Izzi and Matari each must choose, with each of their lives in the balance. "A powerful, exciting yarn"-All About Books. "An impressive solemn, but sometimes hilarious drama of 18th Century Japan" -London Sunday Telegraph. "A witty pastiche . . . Funny and poetic . . . and beneath it all deadly serious"-London Sunday Times. "A strange jewel of a book; it casts lights and shadows although it is as simply written as a child's poem"-Kilburn Times.
