Last Trout in Venice

In the plucky, hilarious, and irreverent spirit of Lansky's popular "Vagabond" newspaper column, comes Last Trout in Venice, a book of adventurous and wacky travel essays that will have you laughing out loud. In Naples, Italy, Lansky rents a car precisely because of the city's reputation as one of the worst places to drive in the world. In Berlin, he dons a full-body latex suit, preparing for his visit to the notorious erotic Kit Kat Club. Inspired by Hemingway, he travels to Africa, where he accidentally stumbles upon a fool-proof diet, the "Deep-Sea-Fishing-Off-Kenya's-Coast-During-Rainy-Season-Weight-Loss-System." And in Venice, you'll hear Lansky while drying out in the sun after his fall into the Grand Canal (in which he inadvertently took a big drink of water) while taking gondola-driving lessons.
