Lost in Paradise: A Humorous Travelogue

This book is the story of a man, who, midway through a successful life in New York as a writer, publisher, theater producer and playwright, left it all behind, and how he created a new life for himself in a strange land. This memoir has great detail and information about living or visiting Republica Dominicana, and it is told in as realistic and humorous way as possible; but it is much more than a Lonely Planet guidebook or travelogue. It is an in-depth study of the culture and people of a nation told through direct interaction over an extended period of time. The author intends to travel by boat to Cuba next and write about that country, and then on to Mexico.
