About this Item
8vo. [10], 3-184 pp. Brown cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Price of $5.95 on the front flap of the dust jacket. Illustrated with four plates of black and white photographs. Schneebaum's record of his journey alone through the Amazonian jungle, where he walked and slept for eight days while trying to reach remote peoples who lived in the region (specifically, the Akaramas). Schneebaum's book describes his time with this tribe, and comments on the tribe's acceptance and practice of homosexuality. This acceptance made Schneebaum, a gay man, feel more free living with the Akaramas, in comparison to the 1950's United States. Schneebaum also reports on cannibalism in his book, and though the accuracy of this chapter of his memoir is debated, his book was nonetheless a sensation upon publication. A small crease on the rear flap of the jacket. Seller Inventory # 000012539
