Offered in 0 more formatsWith forty-three countries, twelve boats, dozens of flights, a fistful of "life experience" behind her, and a lot of ambition feuling her dreams, twenty-five-year-old Ruth Fowler arrives in New York City. A Brit with a Cambridge degree and a middle-class background, she doesn't think it will be hard to start a new life. But getting a work visa in post-9/11 U.S.A. proves to be tricky, and to kick-start a writing career, Fowler starts documenting her experiences. She funds her efforts with cash-in-hand jobs and a stint writing for The Village Voice, but it doesn't take long for funds and hope to run out -- sending her to the heart of Manhattan's dark underbelly, the strip clubs and "Champagne Rooms" of Times Square. As "Mimi, " she has a chance of survival. But when this persona threatens to consume every vestige of Fowler's identity, when her life spirals out of control and her true self remains so deeply buried that it seems impossible to resurrect, relying on "Mimi" seems like the biggest mistake she has ever made. No Man's Land is a shocking, raw account of losing identity -- and finding it again.
