Abel's Outback: Explorations and Misadventures on Six Continents, 1990-2000

Allen Abel is one of the world's great travel writers. An expatriate New Yorker who's lived in Toronto for 25 years, he's reported for major Canadian papers and the CBC network from over 100 countries. I've been a devoted fan of his ever since he firstemerged as a sports writer in the '70s and have followed him fromBeijing to Brooklyn, Nova Scotia to New Guinea, and Turkey to Timbuktu. Wherever Abel is, you can always count on the most obscure, off-beat, and unusual experiences- and he's funny as hell too. Nobody, but nobody, writes like Allen Abel! It's a crime that most Americans don't know him. Pick this up and see why he's worth it.
