Overview
I don't care much for travel stories unless someone feels a little pain, suffers a little misfortune, or loses a little dignity, and I wouldn't choose to write a book about anything less. Adventure is good, but when it goes wrong, it's great. Fortunately, I have a natural propensity for finding myself in awkward, uncomfortable, and occasionally downright dangerous situations.Misadventure is Better follows author David Campbell around the world, spanning five continents over seven years, focusing only on those moments that bring him face to face with failure. Rather than a single narrative arc, it is presented as a series of sketches each with their own unique story.Those with a sense of whimsy will enjoy his antics as a sleepwalker caught in someone else's bed and afoot on a train in the middle of the night. Those with a sense of adventure will get contentious run-ins with border guards, a near-death attack by killer bees and the violent fevers of Malaria. Those who appreciate thoughtfulness will get tribal initiations in West Africa and long sailing voyages, all with their fair share of adversity to overcome.Misadventure pushes David time and again into uncomfortable positions that make him question his ability, find empathy with foreign cultures, and seek a life of urgency.
