About Amerzonia: A Savage Journey Through The Americas To
“I’m going to Brazil by bus and train, a boat or two.”Tijuana, Batopilas, Tegucigalpa, Medellin, Iquitos: just some of the exotic, strange — and at times downright dangerous — destinations passed through on this overland odyssey through Americas central and south, a savage journey that takes Mark from Los Angeles to the Amazon — through Mexico and Guatemala and Honduras, through Nicaragua and Costa Rica and Panama, through Colombia and Ecuador and Peru.

On his ride into the dark south of the Americas — his hedonistic search for, well… what? — he has a surreal succession of encounters with an assortment of characters normally avoided — Scientologists and shamans and narcos — and risks his freedom, his sanity, his life. By the end, he at last finds a point to it all: he goes far to find home.
