"Having lived in Japan for four years, I can say without hesitation that Jana captures the country exactly as I remember it-a land where anything can happen and nothing is ever as simple as it seems. Her wit-filled storytelling carries the same electric charm I felt reading Tom Robbins as a teenager: playful, surprising, and impossibly vivid. This book doesn't just describe Japan; it pulls you straight into its beautiful contradictions with a voice that's sharp, funny, and wonderfully alive. An absolute delight from start to finish." - Robin MacKenzie Polarity explores the experiences of living as an immigrant in Tokyo. Straddling the line between a fictitious travel narrative and a creative memoir, it captures Jana's three years in Japan with sharp, immersive detail. Most of it's true. People, places, and encounters are woven into a story that illuminates Japanese customs, culture, and beliefs. Before you travel to Tokyo, read Polarity to deepen your understanding of this singular, fascinating city.
