From the Publisher
"Set in present-day, anything-goes Bangkok, LawrenceChua's mean, lean Gold by the Inch unfolds in a rush of edgy, brilliant images and and dances on the dark side of love, loss, sexual passion, cultural conflict, and hard commerce." -- Jessica Hagedorn
"Chua's searing, lushly written first novel stylishly explores the shifting boundaries between sex and commerce, East and West, culture and identity. . . . Thanks to Chua's humidly erotic, imagistic prose, the narrator's eventual awakening is almost as provocative as Bangkok's tawdry lures." -- Entertainment Weekly
"[M]ean in rhythm, urgent in imagery. . . . [A] narrative that's as unpredictable as it is engaging. . . . [H]is prose soars; so do his stories." -- Seattle Weekly
"[S]ensuous, often feverish, studded with vivid images. . . . A clever challenge to Marguerite Duras's The Lover. . . Chua updates the time-honored themes of empire and eroticism." -- Publishers Weekly
"Like the narrator in The Lover, Chua ferries us on an intimate journey and I had absolute trust in his savvy compass. There is a reckless truth that Chua keeps a hard eye on and I learned that place and position is a power we cannot escape, only navigate. Love and fear live side by side in this bold, beautiful book and Chua's muscular prose, his seductive vision and the vigor in his compassion took my breath away." -- Fae Myenne Ng
"In his first novel, Lawrence Chua demonstrates a keen eye and even sharper ear for the exigencies of life. With dead-pan humour and lightness of touch, this book makes us aware of everything we haven't seen. It also makes Mr. Chua a very necessary kind of author: a reporter on the edge." -- Hilton Als
