Wrong about Japan: A Father's Journey with His Son by Peter Carey

In a departure from what we have come to expect from this two-time Man Booker prize-winning novelist, Peter Carey’s latest offering is a memoir about travelling to Tokyo with his 12-year-old, five-foot-eight son Charley. The story he tells offers insight into his relationship with his adolescent son and provides an interesting account of what it is to be a gaijin (foreigner) in one of the most exciting and intriguing places on earth.
