Description:
A tale of death--in the whimsical sense--and debauchery, chronicling the adventures of three friends en route to Carnival in Rio de Janeiro from New York City in 1973. Author Simon Mayle recalls how he dressed as a Victorian-era undertaker and piled into a souped-up Cadillac hearse with two cohorts for the 15,000-mile drive to Brazil. Admittedly the travelers were indulging a passion for theater and rebellion, but they also hoped to ensure a certain amount of safety for themselves by playing upon the Latin reverence for death.
