Bet You Thought He Was a Pair of Pants

Who knew this guy was still alive? An 53 years after his big book, who cared?

Don't misunderstand, I actually think Tristes Tropiques is a wonderful book. But the author has had the misfortune to live long enough to be buried under a virtual solid waste dump of competing products, not many of them any where near as lively, trenchant or insightful as the orignal.
