"'Pretty exotic' will be many a reader's conclusion, but so will 'thoroughly human', ie., funny raffish, tragic, cruel,
. . . this is a powerful, engrossing collection."
Booklist, The American Library Association

"Geraldine Kennedy's choices cannot be faulted. I don't know of any other volume that has captured the Peace Corps spirit
as insightfully. . ."

"The writers share the belief that people of different cultures can come together in mutual appreciation and respect
for their differences, though the experiences they describe are at times wrenching. A superb collection . . ."
The Atlanta Journal Constitution
"These are real WRITERS at work, who have observed so keenly the arcana of the cultures they lived in, and written it
all down, that you can begin to feel overwhelmed . . ."

"The collection contains a surprising abount of humor for a book grounded in cultural turmoil, global poverty, linguistic
confusion, and a decent amount of tragedy . . . a crash course in cultural relativism while capturing the peculiar sights,
struggles, and smells of distant places."
