Ordinary Man
Ordinary Man: Writings, Ramblings and Rants. This is a semi-autobiographical collection of 35 short stories and articles by former military journalist John P. Smith. The author recounts his adventures in rural northern Japan in a series of tales involving a beat up old Toyota and a group of obnoxious gaijins with no fear of "skirting the fringes of legal and moral."He takes a humorous look at religion, factory work, and growing up in rural Arkansas. Interspersed in among the laughs are some insightful and thought-provoking stories of self-help, self-awareness and self-discipline.Topping it all off: A frightening obsession with 80's hair metal.
