Journey To Bom Goody
by Karen Heuler
Category: Fiction

Karen Heuler's new novel carries us to the Amazon River where a retired electronics salesman named Forbes is conducting a "social experiment" by delivering VCRs and portable electric generators to increasingly isolated natives along the River, supposedly to afford them a chance to scrutinize modern civilization as it has scrutinized them. But when Forbes takes on a non-English speaking guide who thinks his father was a dolphin and then encounters an attractive ethno-botanist searching for fertility drugs ... and something else ... well, the experiment makes some sharp turns.
