Perking the Pansies, Jack and Liam move to Turkey has reached number two on the Goodreads Listopia category of LGBT Humor. I'm above David Sedaris. Crikey!
On the northwest side of the Bodrum Peninsula, pretty Yalıkavak centres on a harbourful of gülets but also boasts several inviting getaway-from-it-all boutique hotels up on the hillside. It served as the setting for Jack Scott's 2012 travel memoir Perking the Pansies which dished the dirt on goings-on in the expat community.
Are you sitting down? On the same day I found out that Gay’s the Word is stocking Perking the Pansies, my publisher, Jo Parfitt, let me know that the Bookshop – Darlinghurst, Australia’s pre-eminent LGBT bookstore will also be offering the book for sale. The discerning readers of Sydney will have the opportunity to meet:
"...the oddballs, VOMITs, vetpats, emigreys, semigreys, debauched waiters and middle England miseries." I can now declare that, just like the British Empire of yesteryear, the sun never sets on these pansies. |
