Chronically questioning, funny and bold, a young American writer explores the majority-Muslim lands that scare him most.

Trade Review
"A thrilling, riotous, sympathetic read that reminds us that little in the world is truly ‘foreign’, bringing the peoples and cultures of the Middle East nearer to us, and pushing hatred and fear farther away." -- Reza Aslan, author of God: The Human Quest to Make Sense of the Divine
"A fabulously written primer on the darkest countries in the world—or not so dark, as Valen Levinson shows with his toolkit of sharp sociology and brilliant humor. This brave, humane, hilarious, and introspective account of his adventures is a must-read." -- Peter Theroux, author of Sandstorm: Days and Nights in Arabia
