Author Description

In this kaleidoscopic, joyous volume of tales, Peter Gorman, veteran investigative journalist and Amazon jungle guide, wends his way through some of the world’s grittiest and most iconic locations – India’s sacred city on the Ganges, Varanasi, Morocco during the hash harvest, the bustling Amazon waterfront in Iquitos, Peru, and, his hometown, New York – at a time when the world was still an open book. This is travel done Gorman’s way, and stories told his way, too – disarming, funny, honest, and always smart – just the thing to awaken your slumbering wanderlust.
