“One of Troost’s greatest successes is that he’s not reporting, exactly, not writing as a journalist would, but simply living his life in a faraway place and writing about it.”
—New York Times
“Troost manages to relate his misadventures in an irreverently funny style . . . this makes for a good beach read on your own vacation.”
—Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Praise for The Sex Lives of Cannibals
“A comic masterwork of travel writing” —Publishers Weekly
“Troost has a command of place and narrative that puts him in the company of some of today’s best travel writers.” —Elle
