Chapters-revised

Thesis of my book-- edible women
Movement, a movement.

When I finish this book, one of two things will happen. I will find love or something that resembles love, or I will move out of Asia.

I made a pact like this four years ago. I said to my friends in New York “If this monkey (former president George W Bush) gets reelected, I'm outta here.” Then move out to Asia on Nov 3, 2004 the day after he was reelected.

Four years later I'm still wondering what kind of life I could have here in Asia.

I will either fall in love with a man or with Asia, maybe both. But the four years I've spent here has produced neither.
I am giving myself twelve chapters. When this book is done, I might as well be.
