What is it to work in a big Japanese company ?
This novel tells the everyday life from its most boring parts to the most exciting and funny ones. It really achieves the goal of telling the real life of a normal (but foreign) salary man without being boring or badly written.
It’s interesting ! You discover how is eating, doing meeting, applying rules, … The real job of a salaryman.
The writer must be very good at speaking Japanese. He even writes that it makes Japanese people somehow uncomfortable about his ability at speaking it.
A real book for a real discovery
There is no fancy and funny stuff like in Amelie Nothomb’s amusing but stupid book. This is a deep dive into a firm with strong values and traditions and way to interact with foreign people.
