Publisher's Note
Cahill, the author of Buried Dreams, Road Fever, and Jaguars Ripped My Flesh takes readers on journeys to areas as remote as the rivers of Honduras and the immense grassland of Mongolia to the stunning geysers of Yellowstone and the deepest jungles of Peru. Here Cahill dares readers to follow him into his world of danger and high-spirited zaniness.

Industry Reviews
"He has matured as a writer, and the best pieces here are thoughtful, even sobering. They're also inventively shaped and rich with lyricism....Cahill brings an informed environmentalist's eye, as well, to the places he visits. Several times he strays from travel writing to the personal essay....[An] entertaining and sometimes harrowing collection."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Michael Upchurch (03/09/1997)

"...Tim Cahill [has a] winning, if corny sense of humor....His humor tends to come at his own expense....Still, some pieces are serious, and these, to my eye, are the best....One of the pleasures of 'Pass the Butterworms,' in fact, is learning about the author piecemeal as you move from story to story."
New York Times Book Review - Ted Conover (03/23/1997)

"Mr Cahill's strength as a travel-writer is a detached irony, an ability to see his predicaments--and they are often insoluble--as farcical and self-induced. To catch malaria, or land a plane single-handed would be bad news for most readers; it is bread and butter to Mr Cahill. He is also politically engaged; a substantial chapter, investigating the killing of a young human-rights activist on an obscure stretch of a Peruvian river, is provocative journalism."
