{"product_id":"atomic-sushi","title":"Atomic Sushi","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs the first British professor of philosophy since 1882 to be invited to teach at the prestigious and enigmatic University of Tokyo--the Oxbridge of Japan--Simon May enjoyed a degree of access denied to other commentators. In Atomic Sushi he blends lighthearted anecdote and trenchant analysis to explore Japanese attitudes to such everyday human issues as love, death, food, toilets, commuting and marriage. Through his vivid accounts of Kafkaesque bureaucracy, flying goldfish, gangsters at funerals, businessmen paying good money to be whipped and cover-ups at all levels of society, May manages to expose the foibles of a people who have captivated and mystified the West for centuries.\"A sympathetic portrait and an affectionately witty study of a sometimes eccentric and often unusual people.\" --A.
