Using reflections of his Peace Corps years in Brazil (1965-67), artist-author Tomas Belsky with verses, short stories and his illustrations takes us on a culturally revealing journey into the rich and vast poverty stricken region of Northeastern Brazil. Here we get a glimpse into the Peace Corps that is both hilarious and heart rending. Along the way we meet peasants, prostitutes and priests in a colorful vignette of America's twin to the south.
