A fanciful exploration of Japanese language and culture through the recovered manuscript of missing American Edward ("Eddie") Trombone. Also with some stuff about Chicago, karma, pioneering psychiatrist Carl Jung, small fish called smelt, and the deeply flawed but hardworking staff at the Osaka U.S. Consulate that reassembled the manuscript from a tangle of pages found in an abandoned apartment overrun by feral cats and possibly a duck.
