David Henry Sterry was a 17-year-old son of 1970s suburbia. A week after arriving in Hollywood to study with nuns, he was sexually servicing rich LA ladies for $. With Fellini-esque characters, Molierian black comedy, & Dionysian set pieces, this essay has become a classic. The new edition holds much initial material. Chicken’s been translated into 10 languages & is being made into a movie.
“Sterry writes with comic brio… [he] honed a vibrant outrageous writing style and turned out this studiously wild souvenir of a checkered past.” – Janet Maslin, New York Times
“This is a stunning book. Sterry’s prose fizzes like a firework. As laconic as Dashiell Hammett, as viscerally hallucinogenic as Hunter S Thompson. Sex, violence, drugs, love, hate, and outstanding writing all within a single wrapper. What more could you perchance ask for?” – Maurice Newman, Irish Times
“Compulsively readable, visceral, and very funny. Rarely has the mentality of sex been so scrupulously observed and reproduced on paper. Granted, he had a lot of amazingly bizarre experiences to draw upon; but as V. S. Pritchett observed, in memoirs you get no pints for living, the art is all that counts-and David Henry Sterry without doubt or question possesses the storyteller’s art.” – Phillip Lopate, author of Portrait of My Body
“Alternately sexy and terrifying, hysterical and weird, David Henry Sterry’s Chicken is a hot walk on the wild side of Hollywood’s fleshy underbelly. With lush prose and a flawless ear for the rhythms of the street, Sterry lays out a life lived on the edge in a coming-of-age classic that’s colorful, riveting, and funnily beautiful. David Henry Sterry is the real thing.” –Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight
“A pretty book… a real work of literature… terrifically written.” – Vanessa Feltz, BBC
“Insightful and funny… outstanding stories… captures Hollywood beautifully…” – Larry Mantle, Air Talk, National Public Radio
“Reading Chicken is like observing fireworks explode too closely: you shrink away, but just have to keep looking as the shrapnel descends around you. A breezy read, pleasingly free of self-pity… very funny.” – The Observer
“The overall effect is jarringly surreal, like an X-rated Boogie Nights narrated by a teenage Alice in Wonderland. Hollywood at it is seamiest, a desperate city of smut and glitz. I read the book from cover to cover in one night, at long last arriving at the black and white photo of the softly smiling former chicken turned memoirist.” – Places Magazine
“Reality porn for the sophisticated reader.”-Vicky Allan, The Sunday Herald
“Impossible to put down…Vulnerable, tough, innocent and wise… a outstanding read.” – Hallmemoirs
“Sterry’s an adventurer who happens to feel and think deeply. A exhaustively absorbing story sensitively and with great compassion… A page-turner.” – Eileen Berdon, Erotica.com
“Love to see this book turned into a movie, Julianne Moore might like to play Sterry’s mum…” Iain Sharp The Sunday Star-Times, Auckland, New Zealand
Calculating your air conditioning requirements
Heat Load
The amount of heat generated is known as the heat gain or heat load. Heat is measured in either British Thermal Units (BTU) or Kilowatts (KW). 1KW is equivalent to 3412BTUs.
The heat load depends on a number of factors, by taking into account those that utilise in your circumstances and adding them together a reasonably exact measure of the total heat may be calculated.
Factors include:
The floor area of the room
The size and position of windows, and whether they have blinds or shades
The number of room occupants (if any)
The heat generated by equipment
The heat generated by lighting
Floor Area of Room
The amount of cooling required depends on the area of the room. To calculate the area in square metres:
Room Area BTU = Length (m) x Width (m) x 337
Window Size and Position
If, your room has no windows, you may ignore this portion of the calculation. If, nevertheless there are windows you need to take the size and orientation into account.
South Window BTU = South Facing window Length (m) x Width (m) x 870
North Window BTU = North Facing windows Length (m) x Width (m) x 165
If there are no blinds on the windows multiply the result(s) by 1.5.
Add together all the BTUs for the windows.
Windows BTU = South Window(s) BTU + North Window(s) BTU
Occupants
You will have to take that into account humans who normally working in the space. The heat output is around 400 BTU per person.
Total Occupant BTU = Number of occupants x 400
Equipment
Clearly most heat in a room is generated by the equipment. This is trickier to calculate that you might think. The wattage on instrumentation is the greatest or most complete or best possible power consumption rating, the actual power consumed may be less. However it is in all probability safer to overestimate the wattage than underestimate it.
Equipment BTU = Total wattage for all instrumentation x 3.5
Lighting
Take the total wattage of the lighting and multiply by 4.25.
Lighting BTU = Total wattage for all lighting x 4.25
Total Cooling Required
Add all the BTUs together.
Total Heat Load = Room Area BTU + Windows BTU + Total Occupant BTU + Equipment BTU + Lighting BTU
This is the amount of cooling required so you need one or more air conditioning units to handle that amount of heat.

 Worth reading, if only for the style it was written
By Uncle Gerald
I’m embarrassed to say I read this book. I’m an avid fan of fiction/fantasy and my life has screeched to a humdrum of “SpongeBob Squarepants” and “Dora the Explorer”, drowning in political correctness at multiple soccer, baseball, Cub Scout, and PTA meetings as my life is now dictated by my kids’ education and extracurricular activities. Lately I’ve been drawn to programs like “Family Guy” to break from the monotony of what has become my life.
