Iain Maloney - The Only Gaijin In The Village

For the latest SWH! podcast Ali caught up with previous guest, writer Iain Maloney. A visit from Iain is always a special occasion as he resides in Japan, and his latest book, The Only Gaijin In The Village, is all about his experiences of moving to and living in another country, and coming to terms with the resulting clash of cultures. Maloney may be better known as a novelist, but the The Only Gaijin In The Village is a fascinating book, and arguably his best yet and it was illuminating to talk to Iain about why he decided to write it and dig a bit deeper into many of the themes and ideas contained.
