Hey Savages, Go Get Your J. Maarten Troost!

Thanks, to World Hum, I just found out that the new Troost is out! I loved the Sex Lives of Cannibals—Troost’s wit is hard to beat. He is F–U–N–N–Y!

Here’s some info on the new book:

Getting Stoned with Savages:“Troost struggles against typhoons, earthquakes, and giant centipedes and soon finds himself swept up in the laid-back, clothing-optional lifestyle of the islanders. When Sylvia gets pregnant, they decamp for slightly-more-civilized Fiji, a fallen paradise where the local chiefs can be found watching rugby in the house next door. And as they contend with new parenthood in a country rife with prostitutes and government coups, their son begins to take quite naturally to island living — in complete contrast to his dad.”

I can’t wait to get my hands on this!!! Of course the NYT picked it as a top summer travel read! Read on to see if his tour is coming to a bookstore near you…
