More DescriptionPart memoir, part travel journal, With My Eyes Closed, is the experience of Matthew Laney and his daughter during an extended trip to Japan shortly after she turned ten. It is not the usual tourist-in-a-foreign-land book. Laney can speak passable Japanese, traveled all over the country, and is actually on good terms with his in-laws. Authentic, heartfelt, and funny, it is filled with anecdotes and observations from someone who lived in Japan for several years-first in the US military and then as a civilian-and travels there often. These are observations on daily life in Japan as it is perceived when you think you know what goes on behind the curtain. Is Japan easy enough to travel with your eyes closed?
