Mind Games is Suzuki Kiyoshi's third book, taking its title from a song by John Lennon. The Japanese title refers to the first chapter, 'People under the Tent,' which contains photographs of a travelling circus troupe that invoked memories for Suzuki of his childhood. The subsequent chapters are named 'Aqua', 'Lying in the Ruins', and 'Fool on the Road', the last being a photographic essay about a homeless man named Urasaki Tetsuo whom Suzuki befriended. Scarce.
