Non-Fiction Memoir
Fresh out of the Israeli Army, twenty-year-old Iris Bahr
decides to follow the footsteps of many before her and
backpack through Asia. Only unlike the average traveler, she
has more in mind than just seeing the sights: she is on a
desperate mission to lose her virginity.
Dork Whore is a fresh and funny memoir about a young woman
whose quirky personality and embarrassing neuroses always
seem to get in the way of her getting what she wants. As
Iris lands in hotel rooms in Bangkok, rides scooters out of
opium-fogged compounds hidden in the jungle, and antagonizes
an impromptu tour group in Vietnam, she begins to realize
that the greatest obstacle she’ll have to overcome isn’t
losing her virginity, but coming to terms with the reasons
for her need to be accepted. Poignant, hilarious, and always
original, Dork Whore is a remarkable mix of bawdy humor and
heartbreaking moments, witty intelligence and touching
personal discoveries. Iris Bahr has given us an
unforgettable coming-of-age tale about how a young woman
finally learns how to trust others—and her own judgment.
