Description

 							
  
   
  They were young, brilliant, and bold. They set out to conquer the world. But the world had other
plans for them.
  
  Bestselling author Susan Jane Gilman's new memoir is a hilarious and harrowing journey, a
modern heart of darkness filled with Communist operatives, backpackers, and pancakes.
  
  In 1986, fresh out
of college, Gilman and her friend Claire yearned to do something daring and original that did not involve getting a job.
Inspired by a place mat at the International House of Pancakes, they decided to embark on an ambitious trip around the
globe, starting in the People's Republic of China. At that point, China had been open to independent travelers for
roughly ten minutes.
  
  Armed only with the collected works of Nietzsche, an astrological love guide, and an
arsenal of bravado, the two friends plunged into the dusty streets of Shanghai. Unsurprisingly, they quickly found
themselves in over their heads. As they ventured off the map deep into Chinese territory, they were stripped of
everything familiar and forced to confront their limitations amid culture shock and government surveillance. What began
as a journey full of humor, eroticism, and enlightenment grew increasingly sinister-becoming a real-life international
thriller that transformed them forever.
  
  Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven is a flat-out page-turner, an
astonishing true story of hubris and redemption told with Gilman's trademark compassion, lyricism, and
wit.
  
  Amazon.com Review
   
 
Amazon Best of the Month, March 2009: While this latest memoir from Susan Jane Gilman
(former Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress) appears to be a saucy account of international sexcapades, it quickly reveals
its whip-smarts, sucking you into a story that brilliantly captures the "ecstatic terror" of gleefully leaping from your
comfort zone--and finding yourself in freefall. It's 1986, and newly minted ivy league grads Susy and her friend Claire
have never left the U.S. when (inspired by a "Pancakes of Many Nations" promotion during a drunken night at IHOP) they
hatch a plan to circle the world, starting in China, which has just opened to tourists. From the moment of arrival,
they're out of their depth, perpetually hungry, foolish, and paranoid from relentless observation. Claire, who carries
the complete works of Nietzsche "like a Gideon Bible," seems more capable than Susy until encounters with military
police, hallucinatory fevers, and a frantic escape from a squalid hospital expose cracks in her psyche that utterly
derail their plans. Rich with insight, dead-on dialogue, and canny characterization, Gilman's personal tale nails that
cataclysmic collision of idealism and reality that so often characterizes young adulthood. Be prepared to wolf down the
final hundred pages in one sitting. --Mari Malcolm
   
  Review
   
  On UNDRESS ME IN THE TEMPLE OF
HEAVEN:
  "[A] standout travel memoir...Gilman's descriptions of their trials and tribulations crackle with wit."
(Booklist )
  
  "Youthfully upbeat, Gilman delivers an entertaining memoir...offering the full wallop of
disorienting, in-the-moment, transformative travel adventures." (Publishers Weekly )
  
  "[An] ambitious and
intimate coming-of-age memoir." (Kirkus )
  
  "With her trademark intelligent, irreverent voice Gilman takes
us on a journey that feels terrifyingly real, immediate and life-threatening. The woman is no less than a godsend to a
reading world that has become too used to lies, half-truth and spin." (Alexandra Fuller )
