King of the Road
After two decades of telling people where to go, Roger Rapoport finally learned the truth about travel writing. Readers were more interested in sharing their tales of horrible journeys than reading his cheerful descriptions of Bavaria and Bali. So Roger moved beyond guidebooks and began publishing stories by people who, to their chagrin, had ignored his helpful travel advice. In his hilarious new book, he reveals how he created a cottage industry based on bad trips--"including his own.
Searching for Patty Hearst
The events, circumstances and truths around Patty Hearst's kidnapping have never really been solved satisfactorily. Was there a syndrome that involved a city in Sweden? Was it an inside extortion Fargo-style job? Was her fiancé an FBI plant? Journalist, playwright, filmmaker, aviation specialist and Steve Weed landlord activist Roger D Rapoport has realized that the only way to complete the puzzle is to write the definitive novel exposé. Rapoport who was there in California when it all went down 50 years ago joins all the dots and sorts the wood from the weeds. Finally condensed into one volume, 50 years in the making, Rapoport succeeds where all have failed. This is what happened, sort of.
I Should Have Just Stayed Home
Yes, the co-pilot on this morning's flight moonlights as a barber. There was a little explosion outside the lobby of your hotel. One wall of your hotel room just disappeared. The maitre d' was just arrested under the Patriot Act. And there's a gumball flasher showing up in your rear view mirror. Chill, baby. Just sit back, relax and be glad you weren't with...
Skating on Thin Ice
In 1921, when he was 11 years old, Anatol Rapoport attempted to ice skate out of Russia to freedom in Poland. Caught by border guards and turned back, he decided to try again with the help of professional Army smugglers. This bittersweet story of emigration, by the famed psychologist and mathematician known for his work in game theory, is set against the background of the Russian revolution and civil war. Poignant accounts of life in the Ukraine and Crimea, stories of Red and White Army soldiers bivouacking in his home, and a 200-mile train ride that takes 13 days in the comfort of a boxcar make this Canadian/American author's story unforgettable.
Citizen Moore
Investigative reporter Roger Rapoport interviewed over 200 people who played key roles in Michael Moore's life, from the nuns at his boyhood Catholic school to Ralph Nader and other employers - not to mention a seven-foot chicken! For the first time this definitive biography traces the untold story of the 30 years of struggles and failures that led to the "overnight" success of this quintessential late bloomer.
The Rio/Paris Crash
The investigation behind the investigation. The story of the real causes of the crash of Flight 447.
I Should Have Stayed Home
Like the Gideon Bible, this book is an indispensable travel companion, filled with true stories ranging from the "Night of the Army Ants" at a Guatemalan inn to monkeys dancing in a guest's nightgown at a Kenyan lodge. Whether you travel for business or pleasure, you'll learn about the lodging industry from the penthouse to the basement (where the health inspector is documenting the restaurant's cockroach problem). From Madagascar to Mongolia, this hilarious book rolls up the welcome mat.
I Should Have Stayed Home
This uproarious book takes you where conventional dining guides dare not go, from the "best restaurant" in an Idaho town to a Chinese eatery on New York's Lower East Side that erupts into food fights. Readers will discover more exotic culinary experiences, too, as travel writers and scientific explorers share their experiences feasting on lorikeets in Indonesia and sauteed termintes in Borneo, not to mention pan-friend piranha and grilled anteater on the banks of the Amazon and champagne and caviar on the Trans-Siberian Railroad. The ultimate in fusion cuisine, this book is a must for every gourmet armchair adventurer.
