Beschreibung

What comes to mind when you think of Thailand? Many think: The Land of Smiles. Couldn't be further from the truth, in my opinion, at least when you scratch the surface. Although I have to admit: first time you get there, you can't help but think, "Man, these people know some secret of life. Look at them--smiling and being nice, to the point of even kissing ass." But then by the second week of your stay it's clear, most of it is fake! How could you even think they really like us? Look at us: Americans on steroids doing Muay Thai, banging local girls-- lost souls trying to find some sense of belonging-- Old German dudes walking around with really young (or not so young) prostitutes-- Backpackers with dreadlocks-- nothing there to like, and if I were Thai I would be seriously pissed off, which I think they all are, but are just trained not to show it? It's a weird country, on one hand you have people doing whatever it takes to save their face, trying to look right at all times, avoiding any (ANY) kind of confrontation; going as far as to tell you ONLY what you want to hear, even if they don't mean it, even if it's not true; but on the other hand there is rampant prostitution, underage girls are sold into it by their families, it's just weird. Maybe better to say different?

Über den Autor

Born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia, Boogie began photographing rebellion and unrest during the civil war that ravaged his country during the 1990s. Growing up in a war-torn country defined Boogie's style and attraction to the darker side of human existance. He moved to New York City in 1998. He has shot campaigns for high-profile clients and has been published in top fashion publications around the world, and has exhibited widely in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Boogie lives and works between Brooklyn and Belgrade, and is the author of some nine influential photo books, among them is It's All Good (2006, updated 2016), Boogie-the Limited Edition (2007), Belgrade Belongs to Me (2008), and Moscow (2019), all with powerHouse Books.

Tracy Quan's third novel is Diary of a Jetsetting Call Girl, set in Provence and praised in The Nation as a "deft account of occupational rigors and anxieties before the crash." Quan's debut, Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl, and the sequel, Diary of a Married Call Girl, are international bestsellers. She has written for many publications including Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Financial Times, New York Times, Truthdig, Reason, and The Daily Beast. She is based in New York.
