Description
The Women's Jiu-jitsu Society is the story of Vietnam infantryman near the end of his tour, on leave in Saigon during the early 1970s. The novel delivers imaginative and delightful detail to a slice of time where ecstasy and agony couple with the agony and uncertainties of war. The author's mastery of dialect, pathos and humor creates a compelling chronicle of a slice of life that is reported honestly, respectfully, and in a manner that is bound to be transcendent. In this work, Billy becomes involved with Ester and other members of the society who work as prostitutes who practice the martial art form of jiu-jitsu artfully, with glee, pride and personality. Billy's engagements with the women transcends intimate relations, weaving in history, cultural significance, and a love story for the ages.
