Life in rural Japan was a far cry from the raucous nights in Austin, Texas. Set in the dawn of the 21st century, this book takes adventure lovers through secret doorways hidden from the average tourist or foreigner living in Tokyo. Readers are whisked through a landscape of adventures and unique characters. A sleepy agriculture town nicknamed The Yoke and the futuristic sectors of Tokyo serve as the juxtaposed backdrop for the journey in this and future volumes of this book.
The common thread in The Murmur & Echo is that life is a flowing river in which any traveler or foreigner finds themselves. Navigation is serious work. There's no respite or cheat code. After all of the mishaps, accidents and ah-ha moments, one is left with a simple truism: We are all more similar than we are different.
