Hitchhiker Will Ferguson experiences Japan in the most unusual way when he treks the length of the country from south to north by thumb.

Will Ferguson is the author of several books, including Why I Hate Canadians.

"If Douglas Adams and P. J. O'Rourke ever had an extraterrestrial Satanic lovechild, it would probably write like Will Ferguson . . ." (Los Angeles Times)

"Delightful . . . well-researched history and well-considered sociological observations are finely blended and balanced with tales of the road." (The Boston Globe)
