Shoji Morimoto's memoir Rental Person Who Does Nothing (translated by Don Knotting) is fascinating to me. He accepts requests, for expenses but no pay, to accompany a person to sign divorce papers or drink a frappucino or attend a concert or just observe them at work. He gives no advice and, of course, does no work!
