A Beginner's Guide to Japan
Arguably the greatest living travel writer (iOutside/i 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 iA Beginner s Guide to Japan/i, Iyer draws on his years of experience his travels, conversations, readings, and reflections to 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 tobr pique the interest and curiosity of those who don t know Japan and to remind those who do of its myriad fascinations.
