Tales of Old Zen: From New Jersey to Japan

By Alan Rosen

Beginning with his confusing arrival in Kumamoto, these stories introduce some of the eccentric people and head-scratching episodes the author experienced as an American from rough, tough New Jersey struggling to understand life in exquisitely polite Japan. The descriptions of cross-cultural encounters and quirky characters will make you laugh, cry, and think. These stories provide a fresh, funny, and insightful take on the joys and frustrations of the foreigner's life in Japan.
