Riassunto

Edgar Donahoe, failed student and unemployed cook, has moved heaven and earth to locate his friend, Mountain, holed up on an island somewhere in the Caribbean Ocean. But on arrival he finds that the dream paradise he anticipated has some horrors in store. Mosquitos, ghosts, alcoholism and Mountain's dangerous nymphomaniac girlfriend are just the start. It will take nothing short of a hurricane to blow Edgar out of this mess.

Recensione:

'That Ballantine's books have now made the trip over the pond is an excuse to buy some cherry wine, and find that perfect reading bench in your nearest park'
Evening Herald

'Ballantine is good company and a born raconteur'
The Times

'Ballantine's starkly vibrant dispatches from the road are spiked with wry and necessary humour. Risky, self-effacing and compelling'
Guardian

'The most enjoyable book we've read all month: warm, hobo-wise and oddly comforting'
Dazed & Confused

'Reminiscent of Kerouac and Hunter S Thompson'
Monocle --*
