A Beginner's Guide to Japan by Pico Iyer

A Beginner's Guide to Japan by Pico Iyer

Arguably the greatest living travel writer (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 Beginner's Guide to Japan, 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 to
pique the interest and curiosity of those who don't know Japan--and to remind those who do of its myriad fascinations.

Pico Iyer is the author of fifteen novels that have been translated into twenty-three languages, and he has contributed to Time, The New York Times, Harper's Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, and more than 250 other publications throughout the world for more than thirty years. More than ten million people have watched his four recent TED presentations. Picoiyer Journeys can be found at www.picoiyerjourneys.com.
