Literary Fiction
Reader Views Magazine has enthusiastically endorsed Robert W. Norris''s novel "Autumn Shadows in August." Reviewer Beverly Pechin wrote:

"This absolutely breath-taking novel brings the reader to a whole new level of understanding life. It will not only stir your own realizations of where your life has taken you, but perhaps open your mind and heart to new adventures."

"Autumn Shadows in August" (Lulu Press) tells the story of David Thompson, an American expatriate who sets out with his Japanese wife Kaori on a journey to Europe to retrace a path from his adventurous youth and locate a German benefactor from the past. A trip through the Magic Theater, a sudden death, an encounter with Lowry's ghost, and a descent into the Capuchin Crypt in Rome combine to give David and Kaori a new appreciation for life and reconfirmation of their relationship.

Norris is also the author of "Looking for the Summer," the story of a Vietnam War conscientious objector's adventures and search for identity on the road from Paris to Calcutta in 1977; "Toraware," a novel about the obsessive relationship of three misfits from different cultural backgrounds in 1980s Kobe, Japan; and "The Many Roads to Japan," a novella used as a textbook in Japanese universities. He has written several articles on teaching English as a foreign language. He and his wife life near Fukuoka, Japan, where he is a professor at Fukuoka International University.
