Cranky Roy Andrew Miller takes on Nihonjinron. Most interesting are his anecdotes, especially one about the first conference in Japan about teaching Japanese to foreigners where the Japanese involved said, "What kind of Japanese should we create for foreigners to learn? Because they will never able to speak real Japanese." Also, he has a chapter on how you get into Tokyo University: you go to the most expensive juku, where they show you exactly which chapters from Graham Greene and William Sommerset Maughm will be on the entrance exam.
