Their glory days seemed long behind them since their moderate success as a folk-rock duo and their relationship with each other fizzled out in the mid-1980s. But when their hit song is unexpectedly chosen for a Japanese car commercial, the men are given one last shot to revive their fame and friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey embark on a tour across Japan, but soon find their venues are far from glamorous: a wedding reception where they're asked to play their hit on repeat, a flower farm gift shop, a windy sculpture park, and a restaurant where customers catch their own fish. As tensions between the brothers rise and a strange reporter begins following them all around the country, the men aren’t sure if the band or their relationship will survive. With echoes of Andrew Sean Greer’s \u003cem\u003eLess\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Fairley Brothers in Japan\u003c\/em\u003e is a gently comic exploration of aging, family, and belonging. It’s a tale of two brothers, not just hitting the road, but rediscovering themselves along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55283199967576,"sku":"9798887980652","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9798887980652_b663914a-283b-41fb-85f2-4fcf832add1c.jpg?v=1777960868","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/fairley-brothers-in-japan","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
