### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Parable From Shusako Endo
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2012*

Wonderful Fool is a remarkable parable of a simple man who suddenly appears in the lives of a brother and sister who are residents of Tokyo . Gaston Bonaparte , a physically large simplistic and seemingly naive visitor , wanders the city befriending prostitutes, a stray dog, a fortune teller and ultimately a dangerous gangster. Regardless of how he gets treated he responds with an almost inhuman level of kindness and concern for all. Endo has written a parable of an almost Christlike figure who stands out not only for his physical difference but for his capacity to absorb mistreatment and pain without harboring resentment. This is a beautiful short novel that has many elements to recommend it not the least of which is the cross section of Tokyo society that is encountered as the story unfolds.

    This is great :)
  

*by A***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2013*

Came in prestine condition. Bought it for a class but it's very entertaining and endearing. Characters are likable and I want to read to the end to find out why Gaston went to Japan for his "quest."

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Hard to believe this Frenchman is so simple, and still able to get around.
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2013*

I read this book because it was assigned at our book club by the facilitator.  I thought it was a little "odd", and the "wonderful fool" character was somewhat unbelievable.  If he was that "unconscious" how did he navigate the world, and the trip from France to Japan?
