Dispatches from Saint-Tropez

Asim Khan had a successful career in New York and London as an investment banker and fund manager. He was blown out during the global financial crisis, but rather than soldiering on in finance until things got better, Asim threw caution to the wind and resettled in Saint-Tropez. At the time, he did not speak French or know anyone in Saint-Tropez and had no plan other than to live by the teachings of a yogi he met in India who instructed him to follow his heart and intuition.Asim quickly fell in with the crowd of luminaries who call Saint-Tropez their home from Easter until the end of September. The list includes European aristocracy, Russian oligarchs, Arab Spring revolutionaries, artists, and the lively gay community that is truly the soul of Saint-Tropez. From these associations emerged colorful, very far-from-everyday experiences which bore re-telling. In this highly entertaining book, Asim exposes the excesses of a famous playground for the wealthy and notorious by simply narrating his experiences as they happened. The stories are revealing, humorous, informative, and, for some of their powerful subjects, potentially embarrassing.
