Sinopsis

This is an account, introduced by Paul Theroux, of the author's journey as a 63-year-old gringo through Brazil. During the course of this journey he reflects on his escape in middle age from his wealthy pacific Northwest family to South America, where he became a Peace Crops worker in Ecuador.

In candid prose, he describes Rio, Bahia, and the Amazon River, lined with one-room shacks and millionaires' rancheros.
