How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia is the bittersweet story of a young man growing up in an unnamed Asian country and his quest for wealth from extreme poverty. This fictional memoir is written in second-person, in the style of a self-help book. It's prose is distant but warm, and sparse but beautiful. I never thought I would read such a poetic description of a pharmacy ("… a crowded micro-warehouse stacked with pallets not much bigger than matchboxes …"). This book was very compelling, and I often had a hard time putting it down, not only because of its tight prose but also because of the glance it gave me into a rather unknown world.
