What do you do after your vacation in Mallorca ends abruptly when you mow down a couple of Japanese tourists with your rented Renault? You flee to another country, of course! That's what happens to Marcello Carosio, a high-spirited, twenty-something native of Milan, Italy, and that's what he decides to do in a moment of panic to avoid prosecution for the hit-and-run accident. The hasty plan: Hop aboard the first flight to Venezuela and lay low on Margarita Island while his best friend, Filippo, presses his lawyer father to eliminate the problem. Thus begins Marcello's extended adventure as a stranger in a strange land-a self-imposed exile punctuated with the pain of lost love and longing, loneliness and fear, and discovery and desire.

Funny travelogue,

This review is from: The Oyster Cocktail: A Venezuelan Novel (Paperback)
Sancio has created an entertaining travelogue disguised as a novel. The book explores the depths of the Venezuelan landscape with an entertaining protaganist. For anyone familiar with Venezuela, the book is a nice survey of the country. For anyone considering a visit the Venezuela, the book is great primer on what awaits.

This review is from: The Oyster Cocktail - A Venezuelan Novel (Kindle Edition)
This novel is a entertaining journey of an immature italian man that thru its experiences takes the reader across the geography and culture of the different regions of Venezuela. You can find a little of growth and ethnicity in very step of the way. Very entertaining and light to read.
