I Have Slept In Nicer Garages — James Trivers

I Have Slept In Nicer Garages is a fable in which a haughty twelve year old from Texas is forced to relinquish his small-minded thinking to a world consciousness. While playing Roller Hockey Peter Blanchard is deliberately tripped and hurls head-first into the abyss of black asphalt. Upon waking up he finds himself a Chinese youngster in Maoist China unable to speak the language. Suddenly he experiences what it is like to be Learning Disabled and is forced to work as a child labourer in a sweat shop. Slowly he learns Cantonese and begins to understand what true parental love is. In the factory, he meets a girl, Lin Pin, who enables him to discover that women are more than just a Sport Illustrated bikini model.
