Japanamerica

Over winter break I got a delicious chance to read Japanamerica by Roland Kelts. This was shortly after New York magazine’s look book featured a high school girl who said, “A lot of it is influenced by Japanese street fashion.” Suddenly it was confluence, confluence everywhere. It’s stomping around in Cloverfield. It’s sitting under your desk all cute and cryptic.

Check out my review of Japanamerica: How Japanese Pop Culture Has Invaded the U.S. in The Brooklyn Rail’s Prose Roundup. Pick up a paper, or read it online.

Order your own copy.  As an afteraffect you’ll know the translation of Pikachu, and understand why the Rabbit Habit um, looks like a rabbit.
