Review
'... not for the faint hearted... an uncompromising account of
drugs on the road... a tumultuous trip through... South America'
-- St Christopher's Inn youth hostel website
'An entertaining and informative read.' -- Cambrian News, March 27 2008
It's a terrifically raw account, refusing to glamourise the trip... [captures] the essence of backpacking so perfectly. -- Andrew Lawless, Three Monkeys Online
From the Publisher
Fact is stranger than fiction.
Whether you have been to South America or not - the places, images, characters and dialogue that you will encounter in 'The Gringo Trail' will affect you. Mann's caustic humour cuts to the quick; his narrative is compelling to the last. His characters are inextricably linked in a relationship that will amuse, exasperate and intrigue.
'The Gringo Trail' is non-fiction writing, purveying the sense, as in life, of the interconnected relationship between fantasy and reality. Mann writes in order to expand our minds, not only in the magic realism of the drug episodes but also in our exposure to the politics and humanity of ancient and modern South America. 'The Gringo Trail' is highly reminiscent of the ever popular and cultic drug travelogues - the text taps into youth culture sensationalism in the same way as the immensely sucessful 'On the Road' and 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'.
