A memoir of Jeffries Wyman—groundbreaking scientist, Boston Brahmin, adventurer, diplomat, artist, and eccentric—by his daughter Anne. After the death of his first wife, Wyman travelled the world, leaving his two children with relatives. But he sent them a stream of brilliant letters chronicling his travels and his friendships with everyone from Alaskan Eskimos to luminaries such as J. Robert Oppenheimer. A frank, loving portrait of a man who led an uncommonly tumultuous life.

It was once said of the scientist and diplomat Jeffries Wyman that he tried to raise his children, after their mother's death, by writing them letters. In 1950, Wyman spent six months in Japan—giving scientific lectures, meeting notables, searching out traditional villages, and writing intense, keenly observant letters to his then-college-age children. Published for the first time, the letters offer an unusual view of postwar Japan from a highly original mind.
