Red Lips and Bottoms Up is a riotous, nostalgic, and sharply observed memoir of one man's four-year posting in the Far East during the electric boom of the 1980s.

When 29-year-old Bernard Barnes is plucked from London's finance sector and relocated to Hong Kong, he dives headfirst into a world of high-powered banking, humid chaos, and hedonistic nightlife. From navigating typhoons and topless bars to dealing with cultural landmines in Tokyo boardrooms and congee breakfasts in backstreet kitchens, Bernard charts a witty, candid, and vividly detailed journey of personal growth, awkward encounters, and unforgettable friendships.
