Lacking sexual education from her family, Huy?n turns to her peers for answers, opening up a world of childish whispers about physical pleasure.</p><p>As polite society demands Huy?n to remain virtuous, she enters into adulthood with both the will to know and the will to suppress a young womans burning physical desires. The torments of her sexual frustration spiral Huy?n into a life of debauchery; one she might not ever want to turn back from.</p><p>A classic work of Vietnamese literature. Heartshattering, thought-provoking and unforgettable. Nguy?n Phan Qu? Mai, author of <em>Dust Child</em></p><p>Making a Whore is an immediate and sharply observed modernist text. While Vu Tr?ng Ph?ngs prolific yet short-lived output of work was once considered obscene and outrageous, Making a Whore is an absolutely vital text that looks to the future by questioning the teachings of governance; the failings of the health, marriage and education systems, and how society shames young women and curious minds. Not only that, it is also a heartfelt treatise on a persons capacity for love and desire, and the systems in place that restrict them.
