A black writer from Montreal has the perfect title for his next book ("I Am a Japanese Writer"), but he can't seem to write a word of it, instead taking long baths, reading the Japanese poet Basho, and engaging in amorous intrigues with singer Midori. The writer truly does believe he is a Japanese writer and declares this in a mall, becoming an international celebrity - the (still unwritten) book becomes a cult phenomenon and sets off a cultural revolution in Japan. Some descriptions of sex and violence, some strong language. 2008.
