Do Travel Writers Go to Hell? by: Thomas Kohnstamm

Do Travel Writers Go to Hell? by Thomas Kohnstamm is about a writer for a New York newspaper who thinks is job is pointless and his life is going no where fast. A man who works for a travel writer company comes to him and ask him to travel to Brazil to write about the country and why people would travel there. Through his process of thinking about it, he quits his job, moves out of his apartment, breaks up with his girl friend, sells everything he owns, and  hangs out with his destructive dentist doing coke and drinking heavily and numerous bars around New York. Through his journey, he travels through Brazil going through many outlandish experiences and finally does something he enjoys. He wrote this to tell his readers bout his travel to Brazil, his somewhat crazy life, and his change for something different. This is written to fans of Thomas Kohnstamm's writings and people who enjoy a good laugh. He uses constant imagery to explain his journey and his experiences. I enjoy this novel very much and can't seem to put it down. This is a very entertaining novel and must read if you adventure and comedy.
