With a bottomless taste for the absurd, nothing is too outrageous for Doug Lansky. In the plucky, hilarious, and irreverent spirit of Lansky's popular syndicated travel column, "Vagabond," comes Last Trout in Venice, a book of adventurous and wacky travel essays that will have you laughing out loud. In Naples, Italy, Lansky rents a car precisely because of the city's reputation as one of the worst places to drive in the world. In Berlin, he dons a full-body latex suit, preparing for his visit to the notorious erotic Kit Kat Club. Inspired by Hemingway, he travels to Africa, where he accidentally stumbles upon a foolproof diet-the "Deep Sea Fishing off Kenya's Coast During Rainy Season Weight Loss System." And in Venice, you'll hear about Lansky's fall into the Grand Canal (in which he inadvertently took a big drink of water) while taking gondola-driving lessons.
