Title: Too foolish
Review: Going to Japan and spending long enough there to really absorb the language and culture was a dream of mine from my youngest days. That dream never got fulfilled, so I got this book to see what another young Yank's experience might have been like. Too bad the main character is an entitled, oblivious, morose fool. The story is a collection of various unfortunate and highly improbable social blunders, interspersed with irrelevant memories of his miserable childhood. I skipped forward, almost to the end, hoping to get to a part where he might experience some kind of epiphany or at least learn something. No such luck -- I will not be able to finish this book.
