Praise for
GETTING STONED WITH SAVAGES
“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
