The Legend of Pangkor

On his twenty-first birthday, Robert Isenberg took a wrong turn and was stranded in the Malaysian rainforest. The day became an epic story of giant lizards, deadly jellyfish, severe dehydration and a visit with a covert military unit.THE LEGEND OF PANGKOR is a menagerie of harrowing adventure stories - a perilous drive through the Icelandic outback, falling in love in the Dominican slums, and bike-messengering in the breakneck streets of Pittsburgh. Here are gritty meditations on strip-clubs, the semiotics of mosquitos, and the drug-addled underbelly of Burlington, Vermont. Suspenseful and invigorating, THE LEGEND OF PANGKOR is a walkabout for the 21st Century.
