This article takes James Michener's Sayonara (1953) and Michael Crichton's Rising Sun (1992) as early and late examples of the ways in which Japanese place has been constructed as the 'other' against which American senses of spatial and cultural identity have been defined. It concludes that images of Japan and Japanese spaces in mass-market American fiction have altered dramatically while the culturally specific geo-spatial assumptions that inform the construction and use of those images have remained largely unchanged.}, pages = {3--26}, title = {'JAPANESE' SPACES AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF 'AMERICA' IN MASS-MARKET US FICTION : SAYONARA AND RISING SUN}, volume = {9}, year = {1997} }
