A book in two parts. The first is hard stories about Japan: sex, rock, expats and the truth about the Japanese and themselves that foreigners living in the country face. The second - reflective adventures are already closer to us, at a dacha near Moscow, in Soviet childhood, in the current incomprehensibility... An unexpected cocktail from Alexander Chantsev - a professional Japanese scholar, cultural essayist and author of four non-fiction books. Yellow Angus drinks without clinking glasses.
