Joyriding: Sex, Drugs and Adventure on the 1970s Gringo Trail- Joyce Marcel
The formal roll-out of Joyce Marcel’s new book, Joyriding: Sex, Drugs and Adventure on the 1970s Gringo Trail, held in the Main Reading Room at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 9th.
Marcel, one of Vermont’s best-known journalists, will be interviewed by someone who knows her well, her husband, The Commons news editor Randy Holhut. They will talk about the adventures she describes in her book — which include galloping a race horse up a snow-capped volcano, being cured of hepatitis by a witch doctor, and, improbably, becoming shipwrecked in the Amazon — as well as her creative process.
