Product Description
Review
"In their latest collection of hilarious and outrageous media offerings, Mark Schreiber and his colleagues chronicle 101 stories from Japan's colorful underside, and by so doing, expose this country yet again for the unpredictable, fascinating place that it is. If there were a literary prize given out for this sort of thing, the Tabloid Tokyo crew would win it hands down." -Robert Whiting, Author; You Gotta Have Wa, Tokyo Underworld and The Meaning of Ichiro
"Pulp fiction is fun, but pulp non-fiction is more fun. And Japanese weekly tabloid pulp non-fiction-the stuffing that's jammed between the covers of this book-surpasses all." -Marc Abrahams, Editor, Annals of Improbable Research and founder of the Ig Noble Awards
" [A] zippy collection . . . There's a refreshing lack of pandering, with much of the material presented in a straight-faced fashion that heightens its absurdity." -Publishers Weekly
Product Description
A collection of stories from the Japanese tabloid press covering a wide range of topics, from sports to sex, crime to politics, social issues to scandal. They illustrate the energetic and inquisitive nature of Japan's weeklies, which often cover stories that the mainstream press do not. The best stories from the last four years are published here: a quirky, lurid, irreverent and unique book that will be fascinating for people who are looking for real news of the country. As a picture of contemporary Japanese society, the book is sometimes shocking, always entertaining, and absolutely true. Each chapter is devoted to a single theme (business life, sexual deviance, violence etc.) and the book as a whole offers a vivid picture of an aspect of Japan that is never presented to the world outside...
