Written at a time of financial uncertainty for Yohji Yamamoto's eponymous fashion house, My Dear Bomb  is a loose autobiography. Yamamoto offers a record of his life and ideas through a series of anecdotes, meditations, recollections and fashion musings. The book itself is an object worthy of the designer. Scarce in the English language edition.
