Following his graduation from college, he takes a job as a math teacher on the island of Shikoku, far from the city. Thrust into this alien small-town environment, Botchan encounters nothing but trouble from his students and fellow teachers. Among his tormentors are a pompous, two-faced vice-principal; his fawning sidekick, the spineless principal; and a pack of brawny, prankster students - all of whom seem out to get him. Mayhem ensues, but in the end Botchan prevails through honesty and dogged determination.A modern classic, Botchan rivals Sosekis famous I Am a Cat in popularity in Japan. This is the funniest of Sosekis novels, a penetrating portrait of a young mans quest to survive the suffocating hypocrisy of everyone around him while remaining true to his beliefs.Filled with light, satirical touches. - Donald KeeneRecommended for readers ages 14 and up due to explicit language Author Biography Soseki Natsume was born in Tokyo and taught English in a small town before studying for three years in England.
