As he tells the story, his awareness of the comic elements in the human situation -- including his own -- and his ability to convey it in fast-moving, earthy prose have made Living Poor a classic."Hilariously funny at times, grimly sad at others and leavened with perceptive insights into the ways of the people and with breathtaking descriptions of the Ecuadorian landscape". -- St. Louis Post-DispatchThomsen, Moritz is the author of 'Living Poor A Peace Corps Chronicle', published 1997 under ISBN 9780295969282 and ISBN 0295969288.
