Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the success of his first novel, Taikor, which was nominated for the 2006 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, Khoo Kheng-Hor, with his second novel, Mamasan, plunges readers into the glitzy world of nightclubs. As Khoo takes you behind the scenes of a large Kuala Lumpur cabaret and nightclub, be shocked and fascinated by the lives of a host of vividly drawn characters, from the dance hostesses, mamasans, managers, bouncers to the patrons themselves. Be prepared to find yourself in a totally different world, where money plenty of it is king, arousing greed, lust, violence. Yet, be surprised to find out that the players are, in truth, no different from us, the average guys, as they too could love, hate, dream, hope, despair, feel hurt, bleed, laugh and cry as we do. As a passionate storyteller, Khoo spins a tale encompassing other tales covering juvenile delinquency, growing up, deceit versus honesty, love, broken homes, corruption and abuse of power by police officers, rape, blackmail and murder. Be entertained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commercial sex is the occupation of a significant portion of the women of the world, providing economic support for millions of people and their families. Working at the Bar is the first-ever, long-term, longitudinal, in-depth study of a large sex work industry—and Thailand, the most prominent nation in the rapidly growing sex tourism industry, makes for an excellent case study. While previous works have provided brief glimpses of one group of workers studied from a particular point of view, author Thomas Steinfatt examines considerations of health, behavior, economics, morality, religion, and worker safety. The result of data gathered from thousands of workers and customers in Thailand over a period of twelve years, Working at the Bar covers all aspects of an industry that, although it does not conform to various Western ideals, is nevertheless enormously significant. Among the most provocative of Steinfatt's arguments is that sex work is not itself immoral, and that far from being the exploitation industry we might imagine, sex work in Thailand is beneficial to everyone involved—especially given that education in this nation has proven not to be a viable alternative. Providing an opportunity for economic progress unavailable through other means, and providing working conditions far safer than those of the average Thai factory, sex work is ripe for a study that explores all aspects and perceptions associated with it. Working at the Bar is that long overdue study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Rabe has been a major voice and crucial force in American drama since 1971 when, in the midst of the Vietnam War, he startled the nation with The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel. The story of a native recruit's initiation into war, it is by turns brutal and hilarious. It won the young playwright an Obie and was hailed by The New York Times as "rich humor, irony, and insight." More than two decades later, Rabe continues to be one of our most compelling dramatists, acclaimed most recently for the Tony Award-winning Hurlyburly. In this, the first of two volumes of The Vietnam Plays, Pavlo Hummel is paired with the equally intense Sticks and Stones, in which a blinded Vietnam veteran returns home numbed by the war and is astonished by his family's inability to comprehend their country's politics and his rage.

Book excerpt: "Thailand is known for its diverse sex industry, but it is surprisingly under-researched. This is the only book on the topic in the last 20 years, and the only one covering multiple sectors of prostitution in the country, which are examined both structurally and in terms of the lived experiences of the participants"--
