Iain Maloney in conversation with Pierre Sutcliffe
Readings St Kilda, Boonwurrung Country, 112 Acland St, St Kilda 3182
Join Scottish author Iain Maloney as he talks about the joys and pitfalls of life in a rural Japanese town.
When Maloney and his Japanese wife Minori decide to move to a village in rural Japan, the change was eye-opening. Even after more than a decade living in Japan and learning the language, life in the countryside for Maloney was a culture shock. In his memoir, The Only Gaijin in the Village, Maloney recounts the story of his attempts to fit in, to fulfil his duties as a member of the small community, and the wonder of life in the village.
Maloney will be joined in conversation by Pierre Sutcliffe.
