After teaching for years and founding the Dilena-

Takeyama Center for the Study of Japan & Japanese

Culture, Dr. Kay Dilena now has time to do what

she likes. Writing is among her interests which

culminated in her newly-published autobiography.

So rather than worry about the mundane—cooking,

cleaning, and access to medical services—she focuses

on reading, writing, travelling to Japan, and enjoying

the richness of living in San Francisco. Are you

I’ve always enjoyed putting

pen to paper. Here,

I am writing a whole new

chapter.
