Smile When You’re Lying Revisited
Jump to Comments
For the February edition of Bookslut, I reviewed Chuck Thompson’s Smile When You’re Lying, a book which sets out to expose the seamy underside of travel and travel writing. My review was fairly positive, but I agree with Rolf Potts that Thompson doesn’t quite accomplish his stated goal.
All the same, there are a number of stories in the book–particularly the Caribbean and Eastern Europe chapers–that I think are well worth reading, although for different reasons than the title suggests.
