But, as he is the first to admit, the country remains an enigma even to its long-term residents. In A Beginners 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 topique the interest and curiosity of those who dont know Japan-and to remind those who do of its myriad fascinations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51976109949216,"sku":"NEW1101973471","price":16.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-beginners-guide-to-japan-observations-and-provocations-vintage-departures-1101973471","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
