beat but sharing these mom and pop joints across the country and highlighting not just their food but their stories is probably the greatest experience I ve ever had And on top of it all the show results in an increase in their business and ends up changing their lives We get stories emailed to us all the time I opened a second location I bought the building I bought my wife a new Mercedes /

first place and how did you wind up going to university there / Jake Adelstein / In high school I had many problems with anger and self-control I had been studying Zen Buddhism and karate and I thought Japan would be the perfect place to reinvent myself It could be that my pointy right ear draws me toward neo-Vulcan pursuits--I don t know / When I got to Japan I managed to find lodgings in a Soto Zen Buddhist temple where I lived for three years attending zazen meditation at least once a week I didn t become enlightened but I did get a better hold on myself / Question / How did you become a journalist for the most popular Japanese-language newspaper / Jake Adelstein / The Yomiuri Shinbun runs a standardized test open to all college students Many Japanese firms hire young grads this way My friends thought that the idea of a white guy trying to pass a Japanese journalist s exam was so impossibly quixotic that I wanted to prove them wrong I spent an entire year eating instant ramen and studying I managed to find the time to do it by quitting my job as an English teacher and working as a Swedish-massage therapist for three overworked Japanese women two days a week It turned out to be a slightly sleazy gig but it paid the bills / There was a point when I was ready to give up studying and the application process Then when I was in Kabukicho on June 22 1992 I asked a tarot fortune-telling machine for advice on my career path and it said that with my overpowering morbid curiosity I was destined to become a journalist a job at which I would flourish and that fate would be on my side I took that as a good sign I still have the printout / I did well enough on the initial exam to get to the interviews and managed to stumble my way through that process and get hired I think I was an experimental case that turned out reasonably well / Question / How did you succeed in uncovering the underworld in a country that is famously closed or restricted to foreigners Buy

Question / The Vintage Caper begins and ends in Los Angeles which you ve not explored before in your writing What led you to set parts of the book there Are you a fan of the city / Peter Mayle / The inspiration for the story came from California and so L A seemed a logical place to start Also I had long cherished an urge to stay at the Chateau Marmont which I was able to do in the worthy name of research Very nice it was too As for the city I was unable to find the centre but those parts I did see I enjoyed / Question / Where did the character of Danny Roth come from / Peter Mayle / Danny Roth is a mixture of several movie people and agents I ve met over the years quick-witted talkative and relentlessly self-absorbed / Question / This book is a bit of a love letter to the city of Marseille which isn t a place that usually inspires such rapturous praise Do you think it s underrated / Peter Mayle / Marseille is certainly underrated and I think it still suffers from the reputation gained in The French Connection Marseille s problem is that it is not a city that makes an effort to put itself out for strangers It is what it is take it or leave it patches of squalor next to buildings and neighborhoods of great beauty a tremendously mixed population with origins in France North Africa and Italy the almost religious support of Olympique de Marseille the local soccer team the pride in all things Marseillais from its bouillabaisse to its soap the highly vocal distrust of the government in Paris all this I find fascinating And then there are the people ofMarseille known throughout France as masters of exaggeration Nowhere else in the world will you find the humble sardine described as a shark In other words Marseille is a great stew of a city filled with terrific things for writers to get their teeth into / Question / What led you to write about a wine theft What kind of research did you do for the book / Peter Mayle / Bicycle Diaries Viking
