---The New York Times

when it’s over, you actually want more of her."
--- John Markus, Emmy Award-winning producer, The Cosby Show, The Larry Sanders Show

" ‘The Geisha Next Door’ is very funny, smart, brave, and unexpectedly moving. Like its author and star, it’s a wonderful gift in a small package."
--- Mark O’Donnell, Tony Award-winning co-author, Hairspray

"If a geisha were ever to move next door to me, I would definitely want her to be Miki Yamashita!"
--- Jeff Stilson, Emmy Award-winning head writer, The Chris Rock Show

Ziyi Zhang?’"
