Description: A funny, bittersweet tale of cultures in collision. When Joey Breaux, a choreographer from New York City, wins a grant to study and work in Bali, he believes that the experience will rejuvenate his long-term relationship with Chinese-American boyfriend, Andrew Tan. Instead, their lives are turned upside down when Joey plunges into a whirlwind of ritual dance performance and a passionate affair with his young Balinese dance partner. Blind to the impact of his actions, Joey is convinced that Andrew will forgive his vagaries. Instead, their relationship is shattered.

From Bali to San Francisco to New York, Andrew and Joey pour out their hearts in e-mail messages to far-flung confidants as they try to find their way back together. In the process they reveal the enduring, sometimes destructive power of cultural and sexual myths.
