Description
Steven Froelich doesn’t just stumble into trouble: he hunts it down, courting chaos and rendering every misadventure hilariously unforgettable. Guatemala: High Life, Low Life inaugurates a series that will chronicle Froelich’s escapades in Belize, Nicaragua, Colombia, Mexico, and Cuba.
After a night behind bars in Miami, Froelich lands in Guatemala City. Riotous road trips follow, with our man perpetually wasted on booze and cocaine but fuelled by a passionate curiosity about people from all walks of life.
His guide? Antonio, a sweet-natured, streetwise hotel concierge who shepherds him through Antigua, Lake Atitlán, Monterrico and ultimately into the interior, where gringos are rare and deeply suspect.
Next, Froelich strikes up an unlikely friendship with Anabella, a glamorous, garrulous, middle-aged woman, and mooches a stay in her elite gated community, which bristles with armed guards and famous eccentrics.
Unapologetically raw and darkly funny, Froelich explores the absurdities of the human condition, Guatemala-style. Ever wondered what it’s like to go completely off the map of sanity and sense? Here’s your ticket.
