Baby, You’re a Rich Man

Baby, You’re a Rich Man, vividly illustrated by Max Currie, follows the story of Kent Richman, a down-on-his luck, B-level variety star on Japanese television who is forced to go into hiding when he becomes the target of an escaped prisoner. Kent winds up at a Buddhist retreat where he embarks on a journey of mishap, paranoia, desperation, and self-discovery that leads to an illuminating showdown as he attempts to right the wrongs of his past. Baby, You’re a Rich Man offers a unique look into contemporary Japan and the ubiquitous struggle for a place to call home.
