Description	Samurai Widow (1990, Carroll & Graf) is a memoir by Judith Jacklin Belushi, the wife of comedian John Belushi. Judith wrote Samurai Widow in response to the negative portrayal of John in the 1984 Bob Woodward book, Wired: The Short Life and Fast Times of John Belushi and its subsequent film adaptation in 1989.The book is a loose telling of Judith's life with John, her grief after his death, and her struggle to move on in life. The contents are based around the extensive journals kept by the author after her husband's death, and a majority of the journal entries appear in the book as they were originally written. The title comes from one of Belushi's most famous SNL characters, a samurai who would have a different job each appearance (e.g. baker, lawyer, hotel manager). The character was known as Samurai Futaba.The book ends with the story of second husband Victor Pisano's marriage proposal.The hardcover edition contains twenty-four glossy pages of photos, front and back.This title is currently out of print.
