Be sure to watch The Daily Show on Monday, November 16 to catch Jake Adelstein in an interview with Jon Stewart talking about his book, Tokyo Vice, and all the nitty gritty of working the police beat in Tokyo.
Just saw your interview tonight on TDS and thought it was very funny and interesting. I’ve since been reading your articles and interviews on the net and can’t wait to get a copy of your book.
I have been VERY interested in your work since I saw the 60 min. interview. I bought your book the next day. I am almost done (very busy working at a top transplant hospital, More about that later). I LOVE THE BOOK! I saw the Daily Show the other night…maybe I am hardened, but I didn’t really think humor was entirely appropriate…but you are right about the boyscout comment. I hope book sales are going good, I can’t stop telling everyone I know about it..(They think I’m nuts Keep it up!
I saw your interview on The Daily Show the other day, and I went to my library yesterday to check out the book. It’s really interesting so far – I stayed up way too late last night reading it before bed.
Looking forward to read your book. Have you any plans in writing any other books on what you experienced whilst you lived in Japan? How often do you get to visit Japan?
