In fact, for anyone familiar with Ridgwell's mad and wanton approach to writing - that cackle of sex and drugs and booze and rock \u0026amp; Roll - \u003ci\u003eThe Buddha Bar \u003c\/i\u003efits right in. The book is a lusty romp through the alcohol and humidity and tropical beauty of Thailand. Our two leads - desperate to carve out a way to make it, and live, and be, and love amidst the constant deluge - throw in together and open a small tourist bar, our titular Buddha Bar. And much like the bar business - the idea of it and the truth of it are seldom the same. Much like Kerouac's \u003ci\u003eOn the Road\u003c\/i\u003e, it's wondrous to entertain the insanely tempting dream.
