Curator of kitsch and unabashed aficionada of pop culture, Halliday offers bemused, self-deprecating narration of events from guerrilla theater in Romania to drug-induced Apocalypse Now reenactments in Vietnam to a perhaps more surreal collagen-implant demonstration at a Paris fashion show emceed by Lauren Bacall. On layover in Amsterdam, Halliday finds unlikely trouble in the red-light district -- eliciting the ire of a tiny, violent madam, and is forced to explain tampons to soldiers in Kashmir -- \"they're for ladies. Bleeding ladies\" -- that, she admits, \"might have looked like white cotton bullets lined up in their box.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A self-admittedly bumbling vacationer, Halliday shares -- with razor-sharp wit and to hilarious effect -- the travel stories most are too self-conscious to tell. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes line drawings, generously provided by the author.","brand":"Seal Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44895668994277,"sku":"NP9781580056014","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_e4219103-887b-4339-9341-9afa143e490f.jpg?v=1773104223","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/no-touch-monkey-isbn-9781580056014","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
