Exploring Personal Connection and the Impact of Understanding

My guest this week is author W. David Marx

W. David Marx is a longtime writer on culture based in Tokyo and the author of Ametora: How Japan Saved American Style. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, Lapham's Quarterly, Popeye, The New Republic, and Vox.

David and I discuss his recent book Status and Culture, the influence of Japan on his writing, his love of 90’s music, and his hidden music career.
