2004.
Colour plates, vi + 182 pp, new paperback copy. Vater?s observations on the human condition, as he experiences it firsthand along the less tourist-beaten paths of South and Southeast Asia, result in a no-holds-barred account of life in the region, distinctly as not described in the glossy brochures. Figuratively and at times literally far removed from the glittering urban centers and pampering resorts?the images of Asia that occur to most?the author presents a keen-eyed vision of the region?s underbelly. Vater observes and records the stories of the hunters and their prey, the marginalized and the mad, from among desperate locals and foreign interlopers alike. For all who want a better understanding of the realities?and surrealities?of the region, but definitely not for the faint of heart. (When referring to this item please quote stockid 90136)
