Author's debut travel book. A wildly humorous account of the author's travels across Paraguay – South America's darkly fabled, little-known "island surrounded by land." Winner of the 2012 Dolman Best Travel Book Award for Wild Coast: Travels on South America's Untamed Edge. By the age of seventeen, Gimlette – "the world's best living travel writer" according to salon.com – had crossed the former Soviet Union by train, and has now travelled to well over sixty countries. "A wildly entertaining read: a raucous blend of history, travelogue, and guide." –Condé Nast Traveller
