An anthropological feast!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
What a delicious book this is! So hilarious, and at times quite touching. Reading it is like going away on a journey with a dear friend, only much better, because ones dear friends are rarely as adventurous or as bright! Dr. May is disarmingly honest and daring, and brings a charming, often surprising perspective to his experiences in Japan. Perhaps he could be invited to the deep south to teach philosophy next?
Insightful and Funny - well worth the read !

Simon May sheds light on various aspects of the Japanese character with elegant simplicity. Having read dozens of books on the subject, I can attest that Atomic Sushie is one of the best I've read. May's intelligent prose is succinct, often hilarious and always entertaining. Brilliant stuff.
