What a strange story. A young man's first experience outside Qatar (yes, they do pronounce it Cut ter) includes airplane travel to New York City; ignoring his Muslim teachings to eat unclean food; drink alcoholic beverages; have a one night stand with a stranger; start a relationship with a Jewish woman, sleeping with her many times; and trying to outsmart his billionaire boss.

It is not as funny as you might expect this fish-out-of-water tale would be, but I guess from the author interview in the endpapers, he has a lot of experience with foreign, non-English speaking people writing to get into colleges here so the fractured language should be authentic.
