A FILM BY YOICHI SAI
"If you see only one Japanese seeing-eye-dog movie this year, let it be QUILL. The opening scenes present a bounty of puppies so unbearably cute, they'll elicit a chorus of coos from even the stoniest audience. The movie's hero is a Labrador named Quill who undergoes the most demanding training regimen seen on screen since the 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Smart, diligent and charming, he wins the affection of his stern trainer, Tawada (Kippei Shiina), and his grumpy blind handler (Kaoru Kobayashi). Audiences are just as unlikely to resist him in Yoichi Sai's simply rendered and indisputably sweet film." —Jason Anderson, EYE Magazine

Not only was he the first American publisher of acclaimed authors Samuel Beckett, Kenzaburo Oe, Tom Stoppard, Che Guevara, and Malcolm X, but he also battled the government in the highest courts to overrule the obscenity ban on groundbreaking works of fiction such as Lady Chatterley's Lover, Tropic of Cancer and Naked Lunch. Ultimately he won and altered the course of history, but not without first enduring lawsuits, death-threats, grenade attacks, government surveillance, and the occupation of his premises by enraged feminists.
