I Killed a Rat

Dan Brooklyn's exotic travel stories and trip reports, filled with heartwarming humanity, palpable atmosphere and sharp satire offer moments of nostalgic recognition to travelers, cause for introspection and powerfully enrapturing descriptions of his life and times to anyone appreciating fluent, interpretive and frame-defying contemporary prose. Welcome to the world according to Dan Brooklyn, on the pages of which we'll meet a pickpocketing Cuban, a spirit-possessed native American warrior and an exiled Tibetan dance-artist, go to a chaos-magical ferry-ride, a Soundgarden gig and a Lakotan sweat lodge and consume cocaine, ayahuasca and Laotian moonshine.
