Why read it?
1 author picked Tokyo Noir as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
If you’ve read or seen Tokyo Vice, you already have an idea of what Tokyo Noir will be like, although this time it’s taking a wider lens into corporate Japan. It has Adelstein’s trademark style that has you on his shoulder as he traipses the streets, interviewing sources while providing excellent insight into Japanese culture.
An unflinching, boots-on-the-pavement perspective that uncovers a hidden world of stories that go beyond the headlines. Disappointing it won’t see a TV adaptation like Tokyo Vice. Please someone make it happen!
