Sex Lives of Cannibals, The: Adrift in the Equatorial PacificAuthor : J. Maarten TroostPerformed By : Simon VancePublisher : Blackstone Audio IncDuration : 8 hours 30 minutesCategories : TravelPrice : $39.95 $16.95Purchase..."A comic masterwork of travel writing." "Troost has a command of place and narrative that puts his debut in company with some of today's best travel writers." "A delightful, self-depreciating, extremely sly account of life in a place so wretched it gives new, terrible meaning to getting away from it all." At age twenty-six, Maarten Troost decided to pack up his flip-flops and move to a remote South Pacific island. The idea of dropping everything and moving to the ends of the earth was irresistibly romantic. He should have known better. This is the hilarious story of what happens when he discovers that the island is not the paradise he dreamed of. Falling into one amusing misadventure after another, Troost struggles with stifling heat, deadly bacteria, polluted seas, and toxic fish, in a country where the only music to be heard is "La Macarena." He and his stalwart girlfriend, Sylvia, contend with alarmingly large critters, a paucity of food options (including the Great Beer Crisis), and such bizarre local characters as "Half-Dead Fred" and the Poet Laureate of Tarawa, a British drunkard who's never written a poem in his life.
