He threadstogether a journey to and down the Amazon with a series of crystalline recollectionsof the events that have shaped him: a privileged childhood presided over by a bullyingpatriarch, combat missions in World War Two and a lifechanging Peace Corps experiencein Ecuador, from which he never went back to the US.Unflinchingly honest abouthis family, his failures, his already broken health at the age of sixty-threeand the loss of the hopes he once had for himself, Thomsen is also sickened by thecorruption and rapacity of our societies, the inequality and the economic destitution.What starts as an almost reluctant concatenation of memory and poignant, limpiddescriptions of Brazil, grows into a shattering romantic symphony on human miseryand life's small but exquisite transcendent pleasures.
