Zustand: FINE. First printing. The author's fifth novel, a satire which skewers the pretensions of the rich but is still an endearing and affectionate adventure, a "delicious thriller about a gay interior decorator who joins his super-wealthy clients for a Caribbean cruise, only to find himself shanghaied by pirates. Bound hand and foot and tossed unceremoniously into a quaint, Paul Gauguin sort of hut picturesquely thatched with banana leaves, Gregory fears he will be boiled la langouste and served without so much as a creative sauce.

Enter the most endearing sidekick in fiction, the brave pig Savarin." 180 pp. Very near fine in a fine dustjacket (light remainder spray bottom edge).…

Lady Borton was b. 1942. has been a teacher; has worked with the Overseas Refugee Program of American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), Quang Ngai, Vietnam, assistant director, 1969-71; and is a freelance writer and photographer, 1972- present. She gained international renown as an American woman among the boat people of Vietnam. Her work, Sensing the Enemy, describes the plight of the Vietnamese "boat people" who faced disease, pirate attacks, unsanitary and crowded conditions, and other dangers to escape from Vietnam to Pulau Bi Dong, a tiny, previously uninhabited island in Malaysia. Vietnamese boat people, also known simply as boat people, were refugees who fled Vietnam by boat and ship following the end of the Vietnam War in 1975 (mainly were Hoa people). This migration was at its highest in 1978 and 1979, but continued through the early 1990s. The term is also often used generically to refer to all the Vietnamese (about 2 million) who left their country by any means between 1975 and 1995. From refugee camps in Southeast Asia, the great majority of boat people were resettled in developed countries, some in the United States and most of the remainder in Canada, Australia, France, West Germany, and the United Kingdom. One ship of refugees was rescued and resettled in Israel after neighboring Asian countries refused the refugees entry. Several tens of thousands were repatriated to Vietnam, either voluntarily or involuntarily.…
