false 492293 2 An irreverent and hilarious journey around the world to examine how and why people cheat on their spouses; this global look at infidelity reveals that Americans are uniquely mixed up about being faithful. <br/><br/> It's an adulterous world out there. Russian husbands and wives don't believe that beach-resort flings violate their marital vows. Japanese businessmen, armed with the aphorism "If you pay, it's not cheating," flock to sex clubs where the extramarital services on offer include "getting oral sex without showering first." South Africans may be the masters of creative accounting: Pollsters there had to create separate categories for men who cheat, and men who only cheat while drunk. <br/><br/> In America, however, there is never a free pass when it comes to infidelity. According to our national moral compass, cheating is abominable no matter what the circumstances. But do we actually behave differently than everyone else? Pamela Druckerman, a former foreign correspondent for <i>The Wall Street Journal</i>, decided to delve into this incredibly taboo topic. She interviews people all over the world, from retirees in South Florida to Muslim polygamists in Indonesia; from Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn to the men who keep their mistresses in a "concubine village" outside Hong Kong. <br/><br/> Druckerman talks to psychologists, sex researchers, marriage counselors, and most of all, cheaters and the people they've cheated on, and concludes that Americans are the least adept at having affairs, have the most trouble enjoying them, and suffer the most in their aftermath. <br/><br/> <i>Lust in Translation</i> is a voyeuristic, statistics-packed, sometimes shocking, often hysterical, worldwide glimpse into the endlessly intriguing world of extramarital sex. It may be politically incorrect to say so, but who knew infidelity could be this fascinating? 480490 19 4 2007 Lust in Translation: The Rules of Infidelity from Tokyo to Tennessee total:175|5:10|4:62|3:66|2:35|1:2| 175 568 313 64 492293 1594201145 9781594201141 161 54 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175201841m/492293.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/492293.Lust_in_Translation_The_Rules_of_Infidelity_from_Tokyo_to_Tennessee 4 2 false Sat Nov 15 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 11 18:56:21 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 15 21:04:13 -0800 2008 more...]]> 492293 1594201145 9781594201141 161 54 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175201841m/492293.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/492293.Lust_in_Translation_The_Rules_of_Infidelity_from_Tokyo_to_Tennessee 3 2 false Sat Jan 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 10 18:27:05 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 14 20:18:50 -0800 2009 more...]]> 492293 1594201145 9781594201141 161 54 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175201841m/492293.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/492293.Lust_in_Translation_The_Rules_of_Infidelity_from_Tokyo_to_Tennessee 3 1 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 08 12:03:20 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 16 11:20:05 -0800 2008 more...]]> 492293 1594201145 9781594201141 161 54 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175201841m/492293.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/492293.Lust_in_Translation_The_Rules_of_Infidelity_from_Tokyo_to_Tennessee 3 1 false Wed Jul 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 23 14:54:42 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 23 14:56:45 -0700 2008 more...]]> 492293 1594201145 9781594201141 161 54 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175201841m/492293.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/492293.Lust_in_Translation_The_Rules_of_Infidelity_from_Tokyo_to_Tennessee 4 1 false Thu Oct 23 18:30:11 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 18:31:27 -0700 2008 492293 1594201145 9781594201141 161 54 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175201841m/492293.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/492293.Lust_in_Translation_The_Rules_of_Infidelity_from_Tokyo_to_Tennessee 3 1 false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 19 20:30:00 -0800 2007 Thu Jan 17 22:49:39 -0800 2008 1706950 0143113291 9780143113294 14 10 3.25 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1706950.Lust_in_Translation_Infidelity_from_Tokyo_to_Tennessee 2 0 false Sun Oct 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Dec 14 02:40:26 -0800 2008 Sun Oct 18 10:39:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 492293 1594201145 9781594201141 161 54 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175201841m/492293.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/492293.Lust_in_Translation_The_Rules_of_Infidelity_from_Tokyo_to_Tennessee 2 0 false Thu May 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 09 11:21:35 -0800 2008 Thu May 14 04:09:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 492293 1594201145 9781594201141 161 54 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175201841m/492293.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/492293.Lust_in_Translation_The_Rules_of_Infidelity_from_Tokyo_to_Tennessee 4 0 false Thu Aug 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 20:10:00 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 20:11:07 -0700 2008
