Description:
Thailand's Night Life Expert
An intimate look at the Bangkok Post's and Thailand's leading writer on night life
From tabloid leaves splattered with photographs of go-go dancers in the Bangkok World to largely tamed pages in the Bangkok Post, Bernard Trink and the Nite Owl column have endured.Over the years Trink's attitude towards prostitution might have sparked controversy but his columns were also a window into the world of Bangkok's nitery entertainment areas and more. Controversial as he and his writings might be, today Trink has a cult following that is growing beyond boundaries as people around the world log on to the Post web site.The fact that Trink was such a phenomenon inspired Jennifer Bliss to put together stories of Trink's life and a selection of his writings which are " funny, informative, at times pedantic, but always penned in the inimitable Trink style that readers have grown to love, or hate.
But, I Don't Give A Hoot ! is based on the Nite Owl column and interviews. It covers Trink's childhood, his love for movies and books, his life as a globetrotter and journalist, his girlfriends as well as his opinions, attitudes and the writings that earned him both bouquets and brickbats.
