The Salaryman
An American dude becomes a Tokyo white-collar warrior
Ranked #49 in Japan Travel Guide
A humorous, manga-illustrated memoir from a Tokyo American who tried and failed to fit into Japanese office culture for almost a decade. The Salaryman is an immigrant's story from a land where there are few immigrants, with even fewer being crazy enough to do what the author did: become a real train-cramming, brow-wiping, late-night overtime-working, passed-out-drunk-on-the-train-ride-home salaryman. A working-man consumer's take on the U.S.-Japan culture gap, the book hums with authenticity, delivering deep middle-class insights between its illustrated punch lines.
