Table of ContentsReviewsHis fine eye for eccentricities makes this an entertaining travelogue. -- The Observer A frantic, very funny, urban quest. -- Simon Garfield, Mail on Sunday """His fine eye for eccentricities makes this an entertaining travelogue.""-- ""The Observer""""A frantic, very funny, urban quest."" -- Simon Garfield, ""Mail on Sunday""" Author InformationRobert Twigger, the author of Angry White Pyjamas and Big Snake, was born in 1964 and educated at Oxford, where he won the Newdigate Poetry Prize. In 1991 he went to Japan, studied traditional martial arts, and completed the course for the Tokyo riot police. In 1996 Twigger trained as a bullfighter in Spain, went looking for bona fide zombies in Haiti, and reported for the Daily Telegraph on chain gangs in Arizona. In 1997 he spent four months in Indonesia, attempting to capture the longest snake in the world. After many setbacks and adventures, his team succeeded in capturing a python twenty-six feet long -- almost certainly a world record for a snake currently in captivity. In addition to writing books, he is a regular contributor to Esquire, Maxim, the Daily Telegraph, and the Financial Times. He lives in London.
