yes.

Yes the character was Japanese. Thanks for the help!

still looking.

Bump.

I read this book in 1993. It was a translation so it must have been written at least some years before that.

I think it was a crime novel. What I do remember is that the main character was a writer, always relying on the same plot. Not taking any new chances. He had found his formula. He was growing old and was married but because he was growing old he desired the body of young woman. Their freshness and youthfulness.

The reason I'm looking for the name of the book is because it had a beautiful description of being married for a long time and because of this text I walked up to my future wife and asked her if she wanted to marry me. We are now celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and I would love to find the text I read. So thanks for the help.
