"'Transcendent...inventively shaped and rich with lyricism'" (San Francisco Chronicle)
"'Tim Cahill walks the line dividing beauty and terror in the great outdoors...He turns reading into a spectator sport'" (Entertainment Weekly)
"'There are no butterworms, but there is adventure and, most important, there is Tim Cahill...Winning'" (New York Times Book Review)
"'Irresistible...exciting narratives of doing thrilling things in interesting places'" (Booklist)
"'Memorable...Cahill does us a great service, for most of us won't be heading down the Amazon or up into the Irian Jaya highlands anytime soon...Cahill touches these places - lightly lightly - and reports back to us'" (Washington Post)
In Pass The Butterworms Cahill takes us to the steppes of Mongolia, where he spends weeks on horseback alongside the descendants of Genghis Khan and masters the "Mongolian death trot"; to the North Pole, where he goes for a pleasure dip in 36-degree water; to Irian Jaya New Guinea, where he spends a companionable evening with members of one of the last head-hunting tribes. Whether observing family values among the Stone Age Dani people, or sampling delicacies like sautéed sago beetle and premasticated manioc beer, Cahill is a fount of arcane information and a master of self-deprecating humour.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
