A Latin American studies major-turned-researcher for a Wall Street firm finds a new life as a travel writer on his first assignment, a stint updating the Lonely Planet Guide to Brazil in Thomas Kohnstamm's lively account, Do Travel Writers Go to Hell? A Swashbuckling Tale of High Adventures, Questionable Ethics, and Professional Hedonism (Crown). The Seattle writer both shares his own misadventures and his advice for those contemplating the travel writer's life. "Notable for its spirited prose and insightful exploration of the less-romantic side of travel writing, Kohnstamm is one to watch." - Kirkus Reviews.
