作者简介
American-born expatriate Joshua Samuel Brown
has lived in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China on-and-off since 1994. A
prolific traveler and writer, his features have appeared in an
eclectic variety of publications around the globe, including the
South China Morning Post, Clamor magazine and Cat Fancy. The late
Subgenius philosopher Lago Von Slack infamously summed up Brown's
work, calling him 'the Mahatma Gandhi of restaurant criticism,' and
'the Rudyard Kipling of professional boxing.' (To this day, no one
knows quite why.)
Joshua has co-authored three books for Lonely
Planet - Taiwan 7, Belize 3 & Singapore 8. He is currently
working on the Yunnan Chapter for Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos & the
Greater Mekong 2. His debut solo book Vignettes of Taiwan offers
tales of betel nut beauties and how to avoid jail time by
impersonating a Mormon. Usually erudite, occasionally opinionated,
and sometimes bizarre, his blog Snarky Tofu is an essay-and-video
filled scratch-pad from a life spent largely on the road.
