American Misfit

- a memoir

Bag om American Misfit

Part memoir, part adventure travelogue, American Misfit tells the story of a young American clown and variety performer who unwittingly ended up in the belly of the Japanese prison system for what seemed like forever. This darkly funny, stream-of-consciousness journey through prison cells, indecipherable interrogations, and a labyrinth of Tokyo courtrooms is intercut with flashpoints and flashbacks, detailing the author's offbeat, eccentric experiences in Japan prior to his arrest, a New York/Jewish background, and the recent death of his father. Readers fascinated by the culture clash of East and West will find American Misfit especially relevant, keenly observant, and surprisingly moving. In addition to being a compelling personal memoir, American Misfit is also a homage to anyone who has ever struggled to aim his or her spiritual compass in the right direction.
