Description
“The Road Trip” tells about the author’s two years working as a dive master at one of the African resorts.
All events are presented in strict chronological order, and in theory “The Road Trip” aims to fit into the niche of picaresque novels about a Jew who cleverly makes his profit among mentally alien natives. However, the reader of Trachtenberg’s “con-man’s tale” keeps stumbling over the question that matters most: is it autobiography or fiction? If the author is writing about himself, where do the fantastic plot twists come from—such as loading a drunken hero into an airplane and sending him to Nubia, as well as a concert in front of the Nubian king in order to return to his homeland? The hero’s minimum program is to survive in Halaib and earn money for the return ticket.
