I'll err on the side of recklessness and say that the author is a piece of shit and writes about Iranians like they're subhuman troglodytes without culture or civilization

Many Westerners writing about Japan write like they're trying to make you feel like they're cool badasses. Jake Adelstein does it, and so does Greenfeld. Both also seem to have a slightly tenuous distinction between "I saw it" fact and "I'm imagining it" fiction. I wish this had some journalistic (or academic, whichever) rigour, because I KNOW Tatsu and his gf didn't fuck while he took notes... So what's the truth?
