A Beginner's Guide to Japan: Observations and Provocations
DESCRIPTION:
Arguably the greatest living travel writerâ (Outside magazine), Pico Iyer has called Japan home for more than three decades. But, as he is the first to admit, the country remains an enigma even to its long-term residents. In A Beginnerâs Guide to Japan, Iyer draws on his years of experienceâhis travels, conversations, readings, and reflectionsâto craft a playful and profound book of surprising, brief, incisive glimpses into Japanese culture. He recounts his adventures and observations as he travels from a meditation hall to a love hotel, from West Point to Kyoto Station, and from dinner with Meryl Streep to an ill-fated call to the Apple service center in a series of provocations guaranteed to
pique the interest and curiosity of those who donât know Japanâand to remind those who do of its myriad fascinations.
