Tokyo Stories, a novel about the comical aspects of expatriate life in Tokyo, shows us how very different gaijin adventures and experiences become hilariously and unthinkably intertwined within the vast social landscape of this anything-goes metropolis.

Wittily written and hilariously funny, Tokyo Stories is both an informal guide to gaijin life and a "painfully delightful" read for anyone who is interested in what really goes on in the foreign community in Japan.

Note: Japanese translation of "Tokyo Stories"
will be launched in June 2005!

What readers say about Tokyo Stories



In this book:


o PETER is an underachieving English teacher in a perpetual state of depression and bad luck -- and bad karma!

o HENRY, a successful stockbroker prowling the city for romantic fun, gets stuck with a hysterical girlfriend with marriage on her mind instead.

o ERNESTO, a popular diplomat and bachelor-about-town, hosts a chaotic dinner at home that happily ends in a drunken singing contest.

o MARJORIE and PAUL, a prominent expat couple, launch World War III in the city’s finest neighbour-
hoods.

o STEPHANIE, a free soul struggling as a proof-reader by day, reinvents herself to gatecrash Tokyo’s best networking parties.

o ALASTAIR kidnaps a couple of Roppongi waitresses and considers buying a monkey to replace his dead pet fish.

o REENA plans a welcome-to-Japan party that turns into a shocking screaming match.

And much more.

Tokyo Stories is one funny disaster
after another.
