Baddha - Softcover

Elson Quick is the pseudonym of an internationally bestselling author. He may, or may not, live in the Far East and Baddha may, or may not, be largely autobiographical

After a moment of enlightenment while visiting a Burmese monestery, a middle-aged man and his travelling companion, Frog embark on a road-trip straight into the heart of the Far East. His journey takes him through Laos, Cambodia, Burma and Thailand, where he has wild drug and alcohol fuelled adventures and falls deeply in love with a beautiful Lady-Boy prostitute. Eventually the hero finds peace and stability with a wise old man who helps untangle the complexities of Buddhist spirituality. Baddha is an intriguing exploration of the West's concept of Eastern culture.
