But, as he is the first to admit, the country remains an enigma even to its long-term residents. In \u003ci\u003eA Beginner’s Guide to Japan\u003c\/i\u003e, Iyer draws on his years of experience—his travels, conversations, readings, and reflections—to craft a playful and profound book of surprising, brief, incisive glimpses into Japanese culture. He recounts his adventures and observations as he travels from a meditation hall to a love hotel, from West Point to Kyoto Station, and from dinner with Meryl Streep to an ill-fated call to the Apple service center in a series of provocations guaranteed to\u003cbr\u003e pique the interest and curiosity of those who don’t know Japan—and to remind those who do of its myriad fascinations.","brand":"Random House USA Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406804066647,"sku":"9781101973479","price":14.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781101973479.jpg?v=1730497168","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-beginners-guide-to-japan-9781101973479","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
