An excellent book! Larson tells the story of how he and a friend travel across Canada to catch a ride to Europe by way of a freighter leaving from Montreal. When that plan falls through they wind up working on a Norwegian ship bound for South Africa. There the two men are treated like experts in the field of advertising because they worked at a television studio in Canada. The observations of life under apartheid and the adventures the two men shared as they later made their way across Africa make for great reading. It made me wish I had been this crazy when I was that age!
The only issue I had with the book were a few typos and some very minor layout issues. Illustrated with black and white photos
