Japanese culture, dining, sport, and industry come under the comic scrutiny of the Pulitzer-prize winner for commentary.
Without bothering to get approval from the President, the State Department, or even the Federal Trade Commission, Dave Barry's publishers sent him to Tokyo. They should have known better! With this collection of wry observations, Barry may have set back diplomatic relations with the whole Pacific Rim by a couple of decades. If you think President Bush committed a social gaffe by losing his composure-and his lunch-in front of the Japanese Prime Minister, wait until you hear Barry's commentaries. And if you're planning a trip to Japan, don't leave home without Barry's pearls of wisdom about the mysterious East.
