SUMMARY: Frank is a twentysomething living in Los
Angeles' Koreatown who idolizes Charles Bukowski, and wants to
write his own novel of his squalid surroundings, "Koreatown in a
Small Ass." His roommate Eric drags him to a strip club, a place
he has little interest in, and buys him a lap dance. The
stripper, Calliope (real name: Stephanie), gives Frank a hard
time at first, unsure whether he's sincere or not in his
uncomfortability with the situation and his desire to chat, but
they get to talking about their lives. As she finally begins a
lap dance, Frank waxes poetic in his best Bukowski style... |
