| Adrien Blouët’s third book was released on June 23, 2024, by Notabilia. With humor and a good dose of self-deprecation, the author recounts his adventures in locked-down Japan, anxieties, obsessions and natural talent for procrastination, driven by an illusory desire for authenticity. From the humidity of Okinawa to the bustle of Tokyo nights and through the deserted valleys of Shikoku, Adrien Blouët, a reluctant travel writer, offers with this book one of the most singular travelogues about Japan published in recent years. “Adrien Blouët’s book is a miraculous balance between realism and fiction, comparable to the works of Bruce Chatwin or Nicolas Bouvier.” Jean-Rémi Barland, Destimed ” A delightful book.” Elisabeth Philippe, France Inter |
