...horrified. He was supposed to ponder the tension between East and West in modern Japan, the ever-present shadows of the past in sprawling Kyoto, the sense of both fascination and alienation in a foreign land or just how a clump of white sand is supposed to signify mankind’s insignificance in the cosmos. How was stalking Japanese women supposed to demonstrate his thoughtfulness, maturity, and fitness for acceptance to an Ivy League college?! Like hell...

The book ends in a back alley as Catherine and her drag queen pals snort coke. In an epiphany she concludes, "There is only finding joy where you can, with whom you can," a line to live...
