GOOD book in GOOD unclipped dust jacket Driven off his Ecuador farm by Ramon, a business associate, the American-born author set out on a trip through Brazil and along the Amazon. He was 63 years old. In prose which is angry, humorous, coarse and lyrical, he travels the two rivers of reality and recollection.
