A thoroughly unlikable man leaves a boring life in Toronto to teach English in Japan.
I sometimes forget what "badly written" means, but this book reminds me. Poorly-chosen metaphors abound. For example, "his chest was a barrel of oil" instead of "barrel-chested". These things sound petty taken individually, but several per chapter makes reading unpleasant. I forced myself to finish it. A terrible, terrible book.
