The Murmur & Echo: An American Living in Rural Japan at the Dawn of the 21st Century

by Brendon David, Steve Miller (Editor)

Life in rural Japan was a far cry from the raucous nights in Austin, Texas. Set in the dawn of the 21st century, this second book in the series continues the adventure through secret doorways hidden from the average tourist or foreigner living in Tokyo. Readers are whisked through an even more unique landscape of adventures and unique characters. A sleepy agriculture town nicknamed The Yoke and the futuristic sectors of Tokyo serve as the juxtaposed backdrop for the journey in this and future volumes of this book.

The common thread in The Murmur & Echo Vol. 2 is that life is a flowing river in which any traveler or foreigner finds themselves. Navigation is serious work. There's no respite or cheat code. After all of the mishaps, accidents and ah-ha moments, one is left with a simple We are all more similar than we are different.
