Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan by Jake Adelstein
3.0
Jake is quite a character...
And Japan....hard not to fall in love with it. So rich & full of interesting social norms.
Came across as the stereotype of the American abroad (back home...the Japanese) but claws back points for painting yakuza as people rather than caricatures.
Fast read. Found myself referring to business cards as 'meishi'. Telling.
