The result is a very different kind of book on U.S.-Japanese business relations. In search of answers, Michael Lewis hits the road to report on the travails of two businessmen: one a rollicking American insurance agent who works in Tokyo, the other a Harvard-educated Japanese man employed by Mitsui Real Estate in New York City. From the Ginza hostess bars of Tokyo to the \"wine-bottle\" gangs of Times Square, Lewis dramatizes tragicomic collisions between the two cultures and the basic misconceptions that Americans and Japanese have about each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 039330986X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393309867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
