Fairley Hardwicke: Ordeal Iv J.P. Sater

These are the (erotic) Journals of Michael Ordeal. He has spent his entire adult life in the Far East. As an older man with money, he patronizes the entertainment districts, the gay quarters. In Korea it was the infamous Hooker Hill in Seoul. In Japan it was mostly China Town in Yokohama. In the Philippines it was Mabini, Ermita, in Manila. Ordeal retires to an idyllic (fictional) island in the Pacific called Nevahachi. He writes (lovingly) of a Red-Light District (RLD) in Nevahachi that he frequents. He calls it the Train Station, because most of the island's RLDs are near train stations - to catch the office-worker on his way home. The houses in the Nevahachi RLD are known as glass houses, because the girls all sit / stand in the windows. There is a front lobby, where the girls display themselves, then rooms in the back.
