Black passenger yellow cabs : of exile and excess in Japan

Black Passenger, Yellow Cabs: A Memoir Of Exile And Excess In Japan provides a gritty, explicit rendering of a life ravaged by sexual addiction in a land little known for such wanton exploits. Born in the Caribbean, Stefhen F.D. Bryan describes in frank detail an abusive childhood from which he emerged with an obsessive lust that would plague him for nearly 40 years. Bryan immigrated to Japan solely to indulge his extreme fixation on East and Southeast Asian women. But rather than merely penning a series of sexual conquests, he interweaves his story with extensive research on the sociology and psychology of women in modern-day Japan, exploring the societal norms that made them easy prey to the sexual deviance he could not control. The memoir describes Bryan's carnal adventures through a cultural lens that touches on interracial relationships, promiscuity, patriarchy and abortion. Included is sex research that one reviewer asserts "would make Kinsey proud." From the dirty streets of a Jamaica that tourists never see to a pastoral Japan, Bryan takes the reader on an eye-opening journey of discovery. 06 Making of a Rice King 14 Simone Chang 17 Prelude to Japan 20 Japan: Year One 24 Mother and I 32 Mother’s Arrival 34 Megu 35 Mayumi 37 Women’s Social Conditions 42 Mayumi: The Party Continues 44 Corean Christmas 52 Retreat to Kansai 56 Tomoko 66 Chikako 68 Island of Neglected Women 73 Farewell Rice Paddies 76 Kaori 81 Kyoung 82 Reiko 88 Kaori continued 92 Anita McKenzie 94 Kyoung continued 97 Henni 103 Karin 106 Kaori conclusion 110 Karin continued 112 Pressure Cooker Society 128 Baby Making Machines 132 Karin: Head Games Continue 137 Natsuko 141 Sexless In Japan 146 Fu 153 No Country for Children 156 Prelude to Hanshin Mikage 158 Abortion in Japan 160 Hanshin Mikage 162 Meet the Parents 166 Nao 168 Karin: The Head Games End 174 Hisako 177 Anita Returns 181 Irie 185 Chika at Bigot 191 Miho 192 Kazumi 194 Akiyo 198 Olga 205 Shoko 211 Japanese Depression Mirroring My Own 218 Traumatised Women 222 Parricide in Japan 225 Shoko continued 227 Collective Arrested Development 238 Shoko’s Dinner 247 Azusa 259 Rapunzel and Year Three in Japan 264 Jamaica March 273 Hooked on the Crucifix 276 Intervention 281 My Contribution to the Statistic 286 My Jamaica 297 Back on Japan Soil 302 Kansai Reunited 305 The Inevitable Comparison 310 Henni Comes to Pass 312 Lean Times in Japan 316 Just As I Had Expected 326 Sex in Historical Japan 331 End of A Dilema 335 Shoko: Conclusion 336 Etsuko 339 Sayo 340 Yukari 345 Etsuko continued 352 Akari 360 Surrogate Sex in Japan 362 Masako 364 Manami 369 Sex Outsourcing 370 Ultimately Inescapable 373 Japan’s Dashed Opportunity 375 Epilogue 380 Bibliography 385 Acknowledgements
