This novel provides entertaining glimpses into the almost comical lives of some foreigners in Tokyo, and shows us how their very different adventures and experiences become hilariously and unthinkably intertwined within the vast social landscape of this anything-goes metropolis. Peter is an underachieving English teacher in a perpetual state of depression and bad luck. Henry, a successful stockbroker prowling the city for romantic fun, gets stuck with a hysterical girlfriend with marriage on her mind instead. Ernesto, a popular diplomat and bachelor-about-town, hosts a chaotic dinner at home. Marjorie and Paul launch World War III in the city's finest neighborhoods. Stephanie, a free soul struggling as a proof-reader by day, reinvents herself to gatecrash Tokyo's best networking parties. Alastair considers buying a monkey to replace his dead fish. Reena plans a party that turns into a shocking screaming match. And much more.
