Book Description:

In this lively translation of Wang Chen-ho's ribald satire, a Taiwanese village loses all perspective-and common sense-at the prospect of fleecing a shipload of lusty and lonely American soldiers. This irreverent novel by one of Taiwan's best-known writers is both a masterpiece of fiction and a vivid reflection of Taiwanese identity and the impact of Western culture.
