Other Similar Books


the film was ok but the book was amazing, does anybody know any books that are similar to this as I really want to read more.

BTW thoughts on book and film, I'm not suprised this went on as during the 1990's the japanese economy was in stagnation.

Yo should read Ni d'Eve ni d'Adam (Tokyo Fiancée) by Amélie Nothomb. It is Amélie's experience in Japan, everything except the workplace. In Stupeur et tremblements (Fear and Trembling), she writes about the workplace and in Tokyo Fiancée she writes about what happened when she was not working, and we understand why she did not quit her job.
