A novel of sex, lies, and a-go-go...
Henry Russell has embarked upon a new career; he writes love letters on behalf of Bangkok working girls. Henry's promises of romance are sent around the world, convincing former customers that the one night stand they experienced in the City of Angels could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
And then he asks for money.
As the demand for Henry's services increases among the working girls of Bangkok, he finds himself questioning his morals. Especially when his girlfriend Fai, a former working girl, is finding it difficult to break with her old circle of friends. When he discovers that a foreigner she knew from her bargirl days wishes to take her back to the States to be his bride, Henry plots one last scam that could either make him a rich man or cost him everything.
The Scribe is David Young's shocking and hilarious novel that has been called "Marvelous!" (Stickman Weekly), "A classic!" (Mangosauce) and has been translated into two languages. Read it with someone you think you love.
