The heat. The suffocating heat in this classroom. What's a girl to do but to tear off her stockings, and send every boy into paroxysms of hormonal heaven? One of the boys, Harry, a budding academic and a mediocre athlete of middling social standing, decides he's going to date her at the cost of everything his parents tell him is important. But. Everything gets in his way. Everything. His pursuit takes him on an odyssey into arcane books, the Philippines, Japan, Thailand, and plunges him into the purgatory that is his confused mind as he grapples with terrible advice from the ingenious moron that is his best friend. Will he get the girl? Does it really matter? Semi-autobiographical, this is a book about growing up in colonial Hong Kong, and a love letter to books, comedy-inducing hormones, and Asia.
