The most awkward man in japan
robert gressis
Rob Gressis is a philosopher, a veteran world traveler, and an international man of obviousness. But there’s one thing he hasn’t done: an all-frills trip to Japan. With his wife. Laugh until you cry, and cry until you stop as you travel along with Rob from business class to a basement bar, a religious awakening to professional wrestling, a Michelin-starred sushi bar to a monkey park. Many such places. Most exciting of all, though, you get to tour Rob’s psyche, which is like Japan itself, but has a lot more rules. This will be the funniest (not an exaggeration) book of philosophy (an exaggeration) you’ll ever read.
