(Disclosure: The author is a friend.)

This is a book that provokes: both in its tone and in its goals. It's a book about Japan and about the misconceptions many foreigners have but it's also a series of arguments, each encouraging the reader to reflect on how they think and why. As a proud Japanese woman who is nevertheless completely at home in expressing herself in English, Kobayashi is that rare guide who can bring you in to the world of the unfamiliar in a way that never makes you feel lost.
