Taking PNM overseas! Banzai!

Dateline: over the garage, Portsmouth RI, 23 April

Agent calls today and says we have a nice offer from a Japanese publishing house for rights there, so we're taking the deal.

I am thrilled with the interest level in Japan. Few things would make me happier than to have some genuine impact on the public debate there about Japan's role in the world. I so admire Japanese society and culture that I want to see Tokyo play a far larger role in global affairs.

Plus, once the book is translated and published, I can give a copy to my brother Jerome who works for a big Japanese trading house as its general counsel. Imagine how cool that will be!
