Who was Don Maloney?
Donald J. Maloney was an American author, best known for his writings about his life as an American businessman in Japan during the 1970s.
Maloney graduated from the Syracuse University School of Journalism in 1948. In 1970, Maloney was assigned to Tokyo by the Harris Corporation to engineer Harris' entry into the Japanese market. He negotiated a 50/50 joint venture between Harris and Marubeni Corporation of Japan, and served as managing director and chief operating officer of Marubeni-Harris Printing Equipment Company.
He was a member of the Tokyo American Club, American Chamber of Commerce in Japan, America-Japan Society, International House, and the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan.
Maloney is probably best known in Japan for his humorous newspaper columns published every Sunday in Tokyo's English-language daily, the Japan Times, entitled Never the Twain...? which dealt exclusively with the experience of an American expatriate living in Japan. In 1975, a collection of his articles from 1970–1974 were published in Japan: It's Not All Raw Fish, ISBN 4-7890-0028-1, even used as course material by North Carolina State University; followed by Son of Raw Fish.
