Let's Get Lost Adventures in the Great Wide Open

Craig Nelson has experienced places most people only dream about. He has walked the Great Wall of China; taught New Guinea cannibals how to dance; communed with a sign-language-speaking orangutan in Borneo; gotten into an altercation with the People's Liberation Army in Tiananmen Square; and taken psychoactive pharmaceuticals with a male witch in the depths of the Amazon jungle. In this vastly entertaining, often hilarious, and sometimes poignant book, he shares his global jaunts and haunts with armchair travelers everywhere.

Craig Nelson, when he isn't trekking around the world, can be found in the jungle of New York City, where he is one of publishing's most recognized--and vaccinated--figures. The editor and writer of numerous bestsellers, he has spent time in locales ranging from the Amazon to the Yucatan Peninsula and plans on making Zanzibar his next trip (if only to round out the alphabet).
