| 'No Touch Monkey! And Other Travel Lessons Learned Too Late' (Book) by Ayun Halliday |
The author may not make for the most sensible travel companion, but she is certainly one of the zaniest, with a knack for inserting herself (and her unwitting cohorts) into bizarre situations around the globe. Curator of kitsch and unabashed aficionada of pop culture, Halliday offers bemused, self-deprecating narration of events from guerrilla theater in Romania to drug-induced Apocalypse Now reenactments in Vietnam to a perhaps more surreal collagen-implant demonstration at a Paris fashion show emceed by Lauren Bacall. A self-admittedly bumbling vacationer, Halliday shares with razor-sharp wit and hilarious effect the travel stories most are too self-conscious to tell. 286 pages.
