Globe Corner Blogs

Allow me to repeat myself: Chuck Thompson is coming to the Globe Corner Bookstore! Author of Smile When You’re Lying: Confessions of a Rogue Travel Writer, Thompson will read from his latest book, To Hellholes and Back: Bribes, Lies, and the Art of Extreme Tourism. The event will take place on Tuesday, January 19th at 6pm in the bookstore. Not only will Chuck read, but he will also answer questions and chat with the audience about travel and writing.

I will admit that here at the Globe,  Chuck (we like to think we’re on a first name basis) has attained something akin to cult figure status. Smile is among the few books the entire staff has read – and loved. Hellholes is quickly following suit. For a staff who has blogged about *hearting* Chuck and even interviewed him, this is a very exciting moment. We hope you’ll join us and join the fan club!
