Each chapter of this often hilarious and sometimes poignant travelogue recounts an island-hopping, culture-clashing crisis that pits the homesick author against falling coconuts, hospitals that remove wrong organs, insects as big and dangerous as stealth bombers, garbage-bin sex, steel drum bands, and the French.

Autorenporträt
Although his work has appeared in many literary and commercial magazines and has been nominated several times for Pushcart Prizes, and his Caribbean-romp novel The Missionary's Position (Sunny Books, ISBN 0-9665513-0-3) is a favorite of the tourist crowd, Gary Buslik doesn't have the faintest idea how to make an honest living. When writing for travel magazines, he discovered that by tossing around insincere promises he could get hotels and restaurants to give him free room and board to write something nice about them and so managed to forge a virtually useless profession into a rewarding lifestyle.

He also writes novels, short stories, essays and, in case the government should ask any questions, teaches literature and creative writing at the University of Illinois at Chicago-which isn't quite an honest living, but you work with what you have.

He lives in Lake County, Illinois, in a mostly Republican subdivision with streets named after American weapons systems, housewives who don't work, no sidewalks, and a front gate where a guard inspects trunks for subversive literature, such as the Emancipation Proclamation.

He windsurfs and plays softball. He does not play golf. Please do not call him to play golf. That will just irritate him.
