520 "Tom Lutz is on a mission to visit every country on earth.
And the Monkey Learned Nothing contains reports from fifty
of them, most describing personal encounters in rarely
visited spots, anecdotes from way off the beaten path.
Traveling without an itinerary and without a goal, Lutz
explores the Iranian love of poetry, the occupying Chinese
army in Tibet, the amputee beggars in Cambodia, the hill
tribes on Vietnam's Chinese border, the sociopathic
monkeys of Bali, the dangerous fishermen and conmen of
southern India, the salt flats of Uyumi in Peru, and
floating hotels in French Guiana, introduces you to an
Uzbeki prodigy in the market of Samarkand, an Azeri rental
car clerk in Baku, guestworkers in Dubai, a military
contractor in Jordan, cucuruchos in Guatemala, a
Pentecostal preacher in rural El Salvador, a playboy in
Nicaragua, employment agents in Singapore specializing in
Tamil workers, prostitutes in Colombia and the Dominican
Republic, international bankers in Belarus, a teacher in
Havana, border guards in Botswana, tango dancers in
Argentina, a cook in Suriname, a juvenile thief in Uruguay,
voters in Guyana, doctors in Tanzania and Lesotho, scary
poker players in Moscow, reed dancers in Swaziland, young
camel herders in Tunisia, Romanian missionaries in
Macedonia, and musical groups in Mozambique. With an eye
out for both the sublime and the ridiculous, Lutz falls,
regularly, into the instant intimacy of the road with
random strangers"--|cProvided by publisher.
