Fleeing the emotional tragedies of his hometown in Kansas, @66tb99 set out for Southeast Asia. The plan was to meet up with a comrade and ride motorcycles across Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, a harsh barge through the infamous Killing Season. The only problem was that Ballengee knew nothing about the region, even less about motorcycles, and only had the money he’d been able to save by delivering pizzas. The result is a narrative that entirely shuns the tedious pretensions of travel writing. Full of illegal camping, horny monks, and plenty of booze, Tourorist strips lust for experience to the bone.
How can one go wrong when they’re endorsed by the legendary @kevinsampsell ?? Be sure to read his new novel Baby In The Night, it’s a really original and lovely book!
Slipping in one more hype post for my book of poetry before I head off on an adventure! Thanks to @adamgnade for the very kind words! I wholeheartedly recommend Adam’s novels and audio lit label @helloamericalit who published many of these poems in audio form @trident_press
