Everyone wants to escape their boring, stagnant lives full of
inertia and regret. But so few people actually have the bravery to
run, run away from everything and selflessly seek out personal
fulfillment in another part of the world where they don't
understand anything and won't be expected to. The world is full of
cowards. Tune in Tokyo: The Gaijin Diaries, an irresistible new
gay, left-handed, diabetic travel memoir by North Carolina native
Tim Anderson, takes a heady ride through the great Japanese
megalopolis, bobbing, weaving, and karate kicking its way through
the shadowy, dangerous underworld of a Harajuku girl-phobic,
viola-playing, kabuki-tastic English conversation instructor on a
mission to blast himself out of the creative and professional rut
he's in and also do some record shopping. Tune in Tokyo illuminates
the colorful gaijin life of a young-ish American gaywad who, stuck
in Ennuiville with no good employment opportunities in his home
city of Raleigh, NC, decides to jet across the world and magically
make himself more marketable. He leaves behind his boyfriend, his
cat, his CDs, and an increasingly misanthropic existential
lifelessness and heads off to a city where the year is 2119 and the
future is now. Or maybe tomorrow. Tune in Tokyo: The Gaijin Diaries
is a collection of fish-out-of-water stories in which the fish
flopping around gasping for breath (and English-language magazines)
in the open air of planet Tokyo must slowly but surely learn to
breathe, gain his footing, and walk on his own two legs. How else
is he going to take himself to the new Uniqlo, use one of those
beer vending machines, or buy a Hello Kitty dildo?
