Description
Fifth in a series of award-winning humor books from Travelers' Tales, Hyenas Laughed at Me and Now I Know Why gathers wide-ranging tales from hardy, hilarious, outrageous and even reluctant voyagers. For armchair travelers and globetrotters alike, these stories of laugh-out-loud adventures and misadventures from around the world show how ghastly faux pas, missed connections, god-awful meals, and dumb (bad) luck can provide plenty of fodder for the amusement of others. Contributors include Dave Barry, Calvin Trillin, Doug Lansky, Anne Lamott, and Elliott Hester.
Reviews
"I woke up in the park exactly 24 hours after I'd arrived from Pamplona. I had grass in my mouth and strange smells on my T-shirt. At least I didn't have a bull's horn in my leg."
