The Huffington Post: 8 Outrageous Nonfiction Stories You Wouldn't Believe If They Were Novels

If you were handed a novel that describes someone being carried downriver “while grasping the back of a gigantic anaconda ‘as thick as a small cow and easily well over twenty-five feet long,’ ” would you believe that writer? Probably not. Fiction that’s too outlandish feels false, but nonfiction should be verifiable. That description, by the way, appears in Mother of God: An Extraordinary Journey into the Uncharted Tributaries of the Western Amazon, one of the books in this week’s list of thoughtfully written tales you might be startled to know are true.

ONE DAY TO GO!

Mother of God will be out tomorrow. I can't believe it. So on the final day of anticipation here is the trailer for the book - with scenes from the story!

The Wall Street Journal Reviewed Mother of God!!!

With only two days to go until Mother of God hits bookstores, we've had the luck of gaining praise of the WSJ. They wrote: "Mr. Rosolie delivers an old-fashioned jungle adventure, one with rare immediacy and depth of feeling for the people and creatures he encounters." 

Eventually, the jungle eats everything.

Five days until MOG. The jungle is calling. 

Great New Review on BookPage!

"Rosolie's enthusiasm for the wilderness and his ability to convey it poetically makes him an exceedingly persuasive advocate for conserving what is left of the natural world."
