Living Poor
by Moritz Thomsen
Synopses & Reviews At the age of 48, Moritz Thomsen sold his pig farm and joined the Peace Corps. As he tells the story, his awareness of the comic elements in the human situation — including his own — and his ability to convey it in fast-moving, earthy prose have made Living Poor a classic.<P>"Hilariously funny at times, grimly sad at others and leavened with perceptive insights into the ways of the people and with breathtaking descriptions of the Ecuadorian landscape". — St. Louis Post-Dispatch
