(text only, no illustration) Tables Of Contents Title Page Body Content Copyright (61 pages in approx. print length) Preview "Let's not make it," She said. "Let's just live quietly for a decade and forget everything. About me, about that incident that was more trivial than the dust of that seventeen-year-old day... But just like the woodcutter in the fairy tale, who once upon a time told the lady the secret of the wings he had hidden from her when she had less than three children. I will meet him again by chance one day, a little less than a decade later, just nine years later. And when I will see him again, I couldn't help approaching him, despite having erased from my memory and my resolve to live quietly for ten years." *** "Huh! JungWoo, you just come and go to these places on a day like this. Now, I'm sure I'll live for a long time." "Well, I was just passing by and I think I heard that you opened a pub around here a while ago, so I deliberately stopped by to find it. I'm glad you're in the right place," JungWoo replied as he was greeted by his high school classmate, YongJoon as he entered the hall of a chicken pub packed with customers. "Unless it's a busy day like today, I'd like to talk about the old days all night while drinking so that my nose is crooked with you... What can I do? That's how I am..." YongJoon, who was in an apron eagerly serving the customers, made an apologetic look towards JungWoo, who must have come for him. "Okay. I'm busy too, but don't worry about me, just keep doing what you're doing. I heard a rumor that you opened a business, but I couldn't come because of the excuse that I didn't have time, and now I'm here. Now I know where your pub is and look at your face, so that's it. I'll come back next time when I have time, let's make it happen." "But I'm so sad if you just go like this. You sit down for a moment because you can see my handsome face, and I think you'll be at ease if you have a draft beer." YongJoon said as JungWoo stood at the busy entrance, trying to leave in the crowd of customers exiting the store. YongJoon grabbed the sleeve of his coat. "You don't even have a seat, but I'll definitely come back next time." JungWoo visited YongJoon on a busy day and replaced his apologies with an awkward smile because he seemed to be bothering him.

Book Description
“Both a tragic monument to the abused bar girls of Bombay and a celebration of their amazing resilience and spirit.”—William Dalrymple, bestselling author of The Anarchy Published in India to great acclaim and named a Time Out Subcontinental Book of the Year and an Observer Book of the Year, Beautiful Thing is a stunning piece of journalism that offers a rare firsthand glimpse into Bombay’s notorious sex industry. Sonia Faleiro was a reporter in search of a story when she met nineteen-year-old Leela, a charismatic exotic dancer with a story to tell. Leela introduced Sonia to the underworld of Bombay’s dance bars: a world of glamorous women; of fierce love, sex, and violence; of gangsters, police, prostitutes, and pimps. When an ambitious politician cashed in on a tide of false morality and had Bombay’s dance bars wiped out, Leela’s proud independence faced its greatest test. In a city where almost everyone is certain that someone, somewhere, is worse off than them, she fights to survive—and to win. In Beautiful Thing, Sonia Faleiro has crafted one of the most original works about India in years, an “intimate and valuable book of literary reportage . . . [that] will break your heart several times over” (The New York Times). “Reporting at its best.”—Junot Díaz, The Rumpus “A glimpse into a frightening subculture . . . In lesser hands, these young people could have come off as clichés, but the author makes sure we care for them and root for them to survive a life that most will never understand. Gritty, gripping, and often heartbreaking—an impressive piece of narrative nonfiction.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
