Opis

"Raw & funny memoir of a US expat in Asia." eBookSoda "Don't miss this laugh out loud funny Kindle Book."" Bargain Booksy "Debut memoirs aren't usually this vivid - or this varied. State-Sponsored Sex is fast, it's furious, it's down-to-earth, and it's inviting: what more could one ask for from a travel adventure that entertains even as it educates?" D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer, Midwest Book Review During Claire Noble's inadvertent decade in Asia, there was one constant: she always ended up in the land of the absurd. In her shockingly personal and surprisingly poignant humorous memoir, Claire's witty prose delivers stories that range from hilarious to heartfelt. Claire ate maggots and smuggled parasites. She suffered through tortuous massages, mammograms and colonoscopies and lived to laugh about it. From a time-warped Shanghai neighborhood to a luxury Hong Kong high-rise, Claire charted a course through different cultures and new life roles, with unexpected discoveries around every corner. Join Claire for one laugh-out-loud misadventure after another as she learns that plans are often nothing more than good intentions, and a sense of humor is indispensable for surviving all that comes life's way.
