The Japan Times Review

Dear Wafers:

Well, the Japan Times finally weighed in on my Japan book:

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2015/07/25/books/book-reviews/will-neurotic-japan-go-postcapitalist/

Not a bad review, but overly focused on one theme, at the expense of several others that are equally important (Hiroshima, Kyoto School philosophy, popular culture, etc.). Still, given the space limitations assigned by the JT, I suppose I shouldn’t complain. Whether this will help or hinder my (feeble) efforts to secure a Japanese translation, I have no idea. Anyway, see what you think.

Arigato gozaimas,
