Description

"In 1960's Palau, life was raucous, laughable, and harrowing. I lived with a Palauan family in a decrepit old shack of plywood and cardboard which almost burned down. When my elusive heart throb finally led me to her room one night, I barely avoided coming under the knife. I could never have imagined I would find myself stranded one stormy night ona reef infested with sea snakes; or find myself positioned in the middle of a riot between locals and the US Coast Guard. But whether diving with Life MagazineÊs Stan Wayman, fendingoff sharks for underwater photographer Doug Faulkner, fishing with Lee Marvin, or searching for starfish, it was mostly all good." (less)

WOW..those of us old enough to remember what a call to service the Peace Corps was back in the 60's and 70's will get a kick out of this in depth account of life in the islands. the experiences of the author are lucidly illustrated; featuring the personalities of the locals as well as his own self effacing account as to how he attempted to assimilate into the local culture.the Fish and Rice Chronicles is a comfortable read; good story; and a glimpse into the ins and outs of life in the Islands under the scrutiny of the good 'ol USA.P.G. Bryan has a great gift of descriptive writing. I cant wait for his sequel. I suppose it will pick up where the Peace Corps left (him) off.
