Not So Funny When It Happened - Full description


"One funny-bone volume." —Chicago Tribune

When life takes a turn toward the absurd, you know you're on the road. Not So Funny When It Happened collects side-splitting tales of travel misadventures from Bill Bryson, Dave Barry, Anne Lamott, David Sedaris, Adair Lara, Randy Wayne White, Mark Salzman, J.P. Donleavy, Elliot Neal Hester, and other travel writers who pack a healthy sense of humor.

John Wood invents increasingly elaborate fictions to explain his ex-wife's "accidental death" in order to avoid humiliating himself by admitting he's divorced in Vietnam. Anne Lamott struggles hilariously with a pesky case of "Butt Mind" in Mexico when confronted by a common foe—her bathing suit. Australian traveler Jayce White awakens in Zimbabwe to a baboon at his breakfast table helping himself to leftovers with primal flair.

Not So Funny When It Happened offers a selection of the finest humorists of our time. Their stories will entertain and prime your sense of humor for the farcical episodes life has in store for you!
