"Murphy has an admirable desire to educate: the stories are
interspersed with discussions about broader Japanese social themes,
including a fascinating discussion of life in Japanese prisons."
--Asia Review of Books
"Murphy never exploits his subjects. Instead, his deep research
offers insights--at times instructive, at others sobering--into
Japanese culture and how societal changes play out at the
grassroots level." --Japan Times
"Murphy creates a winning mix of irreverent and earnest
observations in this snapshot of the underworld in modern Japan."
--Publishers Weekly
