rating:
i like anything (books, movies, tv shows) that is set in japan, deals with the idiosyncracies of japanese culture, and basically reminds me of all the times i've been there. like lost in translation, exit a evoked memories of the crowded subways, the black suits of the business men, the bicycles of the housewife, the mom and pop shops that dot the rushed, neon illuminated, mad house that is tokyo. the story, about a straight laced football star who gets sucked in by a rebellious general's daughter is pretty well written, swofford was able to get a handle on the mind set of the japanese, how they view outsiders, even those who are japanese by decent, but not by birth.
