- Tokyo Junkie: 60 Years of Bright Lights and Back Alleys... and Baseball is a 2021 memoir by Robert Whiting, discussing his experiences in Tokyo. The book includes discussions about world events related to Japan as well as the author's own experiences in Japan. Peter Tasker, in Nikkei Asia, wrote that the book is not only an autobiography of the author but also a biography of Tokyo itself, making it a "double biography". Laurence Green, writing for The Japan Society of the UK, stated that the work "plays out like a love letter to" Tokyo. Lesley Downer, in The Times Literary Supplement (TLS), described the book as "the story of Tokyo over the sixty years that Whiting has been there". (en)
