Summary

Sex and the Japanese provides a broad look at the changing concepts of sexuality in Japanese culture.From the days of concubines and geishas to the present, sex and sexuality in Japan have been more openly discussed and available than in the West—due for the most part to Shinto, the native religion of Japan that recognizes, celebrates and respects the sensual side of life.The sexual attitudes and customs of present-day Japan continue to reflect this ancient wisdom in ways that are both practical and imaginative. Sex and the Japanese reveals the ins and outs of these attitudes and customs, from the institutions of "love hotels" and erotic massage parlors, weekend trysts at hot spring spas, the use of cell phones and the Internet, to well-publicized date clubs and escort services.Chapters in Sex and the Japanese include:Sex Without SinHeritage of the Fertility CultThe "Romance Gray" PhenomenonPorn for the Male MassesSex Lessons for the LadiesThe Charms of Japanese Women

    Recently widowed Conor McGuile acquires an antique railcar which he restores and outfits with all the comforts of home. He learns the caboose is haunted by an Indian warrior unjustly accused of robbing a bank courier of a fortune in gold. Conor is determined to right the wrong and restore the brave’s reputation. 
 
Accompanied by his best friend Néall, the pair set sail for New York from Ireland aboard Conor’s Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe caboose. Conor intends to visit his grandson Cormac (Mack) in the American Southwest, in New Mexico. The journey across the Atlantic Ocean takes a harrowing two months, during which time the friends land on a fantastic mid-ocean seamount. The sole inhabitant of The Unknown Island reveals astounding secrets and incredible coincidences that will affect Conor and Néall for years to come. 
 
Once in the New World, Néall, reconciled with his wife, returns home to Derry, Northern Ireland, while McGuile travels across America. He encounters a trainload of interesting characters, from a runaway bride who reminds Conor of his deceased wife to a ten-year-old boy who wants to adopt the old man as his grandfather. 
 
Conor’s grandson and his companion, Pedro, abandoned by their parents as teenagers, live in a dilapidated adobe house in Cold Beer, New Mexico. Conor spends a good while disciplining the boys and repairing their tumbledown abode. At last, convinced that the young men are “flying straight,” McGuile, homesick, returns to Ireland where the final pieces of his life fall neatly into place and he realizes the beneficial effects he has had upon all whom he met.

Weedon initially studied art but later joined his brother George in the theatre. The Diary of a Nobody was a joint effort with Weedon also providing illustrations. It first appeared as a serial in Punch between 1888 and 1889 and was published in book form in 1892. The diary chronicles 15 months of the day-to-day life of Mr. Charles Pooter, a City of London clerk.The self-importance, social aspirations, snobbery and delusions of the diarist are the material for this classic humorous work.Public Domain (P)2016 Spiders' House Audio/Roy Macready
