This is a quite insightful telling of what it's like in Japan from an American's point of view ... who has been there for decades and certainly knows his way around Japan, and can represent its quirks well. For that, it's funny.But the major flaw is that Crowe is really, really, really out of touch with the way men in the public eye refer to their wives in the US these days. Crowe's humor about his wife is sooo 30 years ago. Men in the public eye, who want to connect to connect to their audience DO NOT REFER TO THEIR WIVES DISRESPECTFULLY these days! IT IS NOT FUNNY!
A very good example of how nicely men are referring to their wives in public currently, is Paul Rieser's book, Familyhood. Another set of very good examples is how the married chefs refer to their spouses on the popular TV show The Chew. It may be an accurate description of the male tone in Japan, for an author to still joke disrespectfully of one's wife, but for a reader in the U.S. these days, is a real turnoff.
Edit (at a later time): I bought Crowe's other Kindle book, A Woman's Nails, because I otherwise really like his kind of humor, his outlook on life, and his niche. I hope, by reading his other book I'll find it possible to like his work anyway, despite what I said before.
2nd edit: I finally finished A Woman's Nails. It was tough reading the first 90% of that book, because I kept thinking he verified my original opinion of him. It wasn't until the last 10% that I realized that this was an author I really could respect, that he had a brilliant side to him (or he wouldn't have captured the reader all the way through, and he was disciplined towards women as well, despite his own natural urges). It did change my opinion of the author, so I'm putting the deserved stars back on my review.

BSides eBook Aonghas Crowe Kuroko Reviews
Reading the sample pages I was gob-smacked at the poor editting, of dialogue paragraphing and layout.
Shame - put me off buying.
Maybe when/if a revision comes online I'll go for it, because it did look amusing.
A good collection of essays from Aonghas Crowe. Apropos topics and humorous presentation would leave you with giggles while also paints a colorful picture of social issues. Moreover, the collection being low priced, I would aver that readers will get much more goodies than what they paid for.
From the write-up provided on , I thought this might be a clever little diversion on experiences of a foreigner in Japan. Even though there are so many stories and books written about such experiences, I still find them of interest. This one, however, I did not. "B-Sides" should be called "Z-sides" because I could detect absolutely nothing of value. The author apparently thinks that rambling asides of whatever comes into his head equals "humorous and satirical essays." Within moments of reading it, I had no idea who he was talking about, who he was, what his point of reference was, ad nauseam. He seemed to think it would be interesting for readers to know the vagaries of his sex life and that we would understand/appreciate/acknowledge/nod in agreement with his comments about his wife who he apparently was cheating on as often as possible with women who were also cheating on their mates.
The author jumps from tangent to tangent, assuming the reader will also jump joyously with him, "getting" everything he says. The only thing I "got" was a sick feeling in my stomach during his quasi-pornographic descriptions of what he must have thought were his white-hot sex romps.
I really wanted to give this book a chance, but it only took reading a few pages of rambling, incoherent, unconnected gobbledy-gook to realize I was wasting my time. Perhaps this was written for friends and family who are already aware of the author's "situation." But a larger audience will remain clueless.
This is a quite insightful telling of what it's like in Japan from an American's point of view ... who has been there for decades and certainly knows his way around Japan, and can represent its quirks well. For that, it's funny.
