'The Typist': MacArthur in Tokyo

Awhile back, one of you recommended this novel
about the American occupation of Japan. I read it and sort of enjoyed it. I
found it kind of slight. My favorite was the opening vignette, titled 'The Atom
Bowl,' about a football game in Hiroshima.

It did make me think there is a
good prequel for John Adams to write to 'Nixon in China,' titled 'MacArthur
in Toyko.' Maybe a trilogy, with the third part yet to come. Maybe McCain in
Hanoi'?
