Product Details

Praise

"A comic rogue who seems to have modeled his life and prose on Hunter S. Thompson’s… I could not get enough of the most depraved travel book of the year."
The New York Times

"Hilarious"
The New York Times Book Review

"the shot heard ’round the travel world…"
The Washington Post

"A guidebook writer reveals the truth about his trade, in detail that will shock and awe."
Outside

"It’s Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, but with tourism"
The New York Observer

"Kohnstamm is nobody’s model travel journalist, except maybe Hunter Thompson’s… [he’s the] sudden enfant terrible of his field… Do Travel Writers Go To Hell? is the best-written, funniest book of travel literature since Phaic Tan."
The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Sharp writing and self-deprecating wit add spice to a chronicle of the sometimes absurd world of guidebook writing."
Booklist

"Readers will relish the countless stories of the author’s misadventures, but Kohnstamm brings more than just anecdotes: He offers a solid understanding of the mechanics of the travel-writing industry and a unique ability to illuminate that world to readers. Notable for its spirited prose and insightful exploration of the less-romantic side of travel writing. Kohnstamm is one to watch."
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
