The Greek Tragedy: The Julian Jakos Chronicles - Softcover
An epic tale of degradation, The Greek Tragedy follows 30-year-old American Julian Jakos, into the underbelly of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. What begins as a wide-eyed cultural observation quickly turns to the seedier side of Southeast Asia as Julian becomes immersed in the expat bar scene of Pham Ngu Lao. Making friends with a feral lot of international drunks, Julian is bound by misadventures amid a terse Vietnamese culture and a sex life as cruel as it is pleasurable. It's just another night after the English lessons are over when a couple of Mama Phuong's spliffs start going around. Next thing you know you're down on Hai Ba Trung with a bargirl in your lap. "Di khach san di boom," she repeats, batting the lashes on her big, almond-shaped eyes. Let the debauchery begin.
