Notes:	"Original Japanese edition published by SHINCHOSA Publishing Co., Ltd."--Title page verso. "Original title: 6000-DO NO AI"--Title page verso. "Inspired partly by Marguerite Duras's screenplay for 'Hiroshima, Mon Amour,' this novel is an undeniable demonstration of Kashimada's distinctive voice, the polish and precision of her literary style, and her dedication to plumbing the depths of her characters' psychology and situations. Thrilling and poised in equal measure, dealing with the travails of history, with gendered identity, and with the tension between private and public selves, Love at Six Thousand Degrees is a literary highwire act by one of the most unique voices in contemporary Japanese fiction."--Provided by publisher. In English, translated from the Japanese.
Summary:	A housewife finds herself haunted by visions of a mushroom cloud and abruptly leaves her husband and son to travel alone to the city of Nagasaki, where she has an affair with a young half-Russian, half-Japanese man.
