An enthralling account of a young Dutch-English man finding his identity in 1970s Japan. Immersed in the theatre scene, Buruma's adventures are simultaneously unique and universal. The detailed descriptions could only come from a prodigiously observant outsider. Yet the feelings of unmoored curiosity, longing, and desire for fraternity will be familiar to anyone who has been young and lost.
