Listen to the testimony of a former teenage actress who can now see her life and her deepest desires reflected in her drug-infested, exaggerated, and unhappily married characters' dramatic motions.\nMost of these stories come from her ever-present inner dialogues and she speaks them out on the page, often changing herself to mirror the relationships that are so vivid in her mind and heart.'Exaggeration and drug abuse became my mantra for survival at the time. Patterns formed in our minds in order to cope with the toxic reality of living in corruption and violence.'Trap into an illogical but sexual safety net, population of Bangkok convinced me that I am living the most exhilarating life even though it was suffocating. These experiences grappled with my strengths of distraction reflex, lack of principles, and existence in a hope world.'The disguise became an aspect of my survival skills as a creative being. A queen as ingenious as myself needed to be skillful in her dress sense.'These personal tales are bound by the will to resist lovelessness — be it forced against our wills or subtly contained in everyday moment like contemptuous, gentle whirlpool throats.\nSylvia Petter challenged me to stop seeing all relationships and spaces separated by glass walls; instead, we share the fluid journeys that unfold within the veil of selfishness and passions stirring within the walls of hearts.'Her transformation in Unabridged is stark, even shocking, but also absolutely commendable. She shows us an adolescent facing an armed assault upon her looks, self-estrangement, and sex edges, exposed often to acts of blackmailing, manipulation, deceit, booze, drugs, Easterlinian thinkings, obscene language and disturbing religio-superstition conflict.\n... Her skid often digs deeper into my soul than a therapist could easily help me sort through the mess of confusion.
