Be it spring cleaning in a see-through apron while two wealthy women have sex or performing with 'Tinker Bell' while 'Peter Pan' whips her, the life of a teenage prostitute in Beverly Hills was never dull. Often dark, sometimes hilarious, but never dull. Arriving in LA to attend college, but desperate for money, Sterry met a pimp who established him as a male prostitute serving a wild variety of well-off women (and occasionally men). This is his unflinching account of the twisted Wonderland of post-Sixities excess he encountered: peppered with frank descriptions of the work of a 'sex technician'.

David Henry Sterry was at the centre of the hedonistic madness of Manhattan in the 1980s as the roller-skating emcee of Chippendales nightclub. He has also worked as an actor, a marriage counsellor, a screenwriter, a comedian and an athlete. His first memoir, Chicken, told the story of his teenage years as a prostitute/college student in Beverly Hills. He lives in California. His latest book is Unzipped.
Even as confessional memoirs go, David Sterry's Chicken stands out from the rest. Alternately farcical, grotesque, brutal and sad. * * The Bookseller * * Sordid, painful and often hilarious. * * Guardian * * Sterry writes with comic brio . . . he's honed a vibrant outrageous writing style and turned out this studiously wild souvenir of a chequered past. * * New York Times * * Unflinching and perceptive without being mawkish, and often very funny. * * Independent on Sunday * *
