Summary
Summary
Entertainment Weekly calls acclaimed author and essayist J. Maarten Troost a "funny, candid, and down-to-earth travel companion." Both witty and poignant, Headhunters on My Doorstep follows Troost as he retraces Robert Louis Stevenson's path through the South Pacific. Somewhere between AA meetings in Tahiti and discovering how the Island of Merrymaking got its name, Troost reconnects with himself, his family, and the beauty of life.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“As Troost’s many fans could predict, following in the footsteps of his literary idol turned out to be a hilarious, if some harrowing experience. In the midst of all his misadventures, however, is also the story of how Troost’s eventful trek stabilized him and renewed his connections with the world around him.” —Barnes & Noble, editorial review
“A rambunctious, intimate trip well worth the armchair time.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
