The Scribe by David Young A comedy of sex, lies and a-go-go Henry Russell has embarked upon a new career; he writes love letters on behalf of Bangkok working girls. Henry's promises of romance are sent around the world, convincing former customers that the one night stand they experienced in the City of Angels could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. And then he asks for money. The Scribe is David Young's shocking and hilarious novel that has already established itself as an underground classic. Read it with someone you think you love. Author's preface to the second edition Much has changed since The Scribe first appeared on bookshelves. The skytrain now looms over city streets. Internet cafes have sprung up in the remotest corners of the city, and there's no longer a big fishtank where bargirls dive for coins. Much has changed and much hasn't. The lonely and the lost still roam the streets after dark hoping for a little love, money, or with the Buddha's help both. There is still heartbreak, laughter, despair and excitement in the most unexpected of forms. And yes, there is romance, for those who choose to believe. David Young, July 2001 Paperback
