Synopsis

Out in the All of It captures, through a series of vignettes, those first days and months faced by the author, Chris Honoré, after arriving in Colombia, South America, as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Though the Peace Corps puts every volunteer through a robust training program, including intense language preparation, nothing could have fully prepared him to face the exigencies of living in a foreign country of such profound and startling contrasts. While at times harrowing and demanding, the experience proved to be immensely rewarding and, in the end, altered his view of the world forever.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Out in the All of It brings the Western reader who most likely has never had the opportunity to visit South America closer to that country in a personal and revealing way. The vignettes in the book describe the challenges faced by those from the First World who venture forth into the Third World -- a place stunningly different than their own. If there is a genre for these stories, it could be called creative nonfiction, or, in the alternative, fictional memoir. All of the narratives are, however, based on actual experiences.
