  <description><![CDATA[A curious novel, not quite a journal, not quite pure adventure fiction. Editor Jonathan Galassi said of it: &quot;There is a wonderful sense of presence in this novel...&quot; Henry Hollenbaugh, who is probably in his early 80s (since he is writing of his experiences in the mid 1950s), can still remember the young man's poignant pangs of unrequited love and the thrill of the hunt, in his obsessive quest for Crocodylus moreletii. Although the author, in his fictionalized journal, does not provide the real cause behind his stranded situation in El Peten, the fact that he buried himself alive in that jungle immediately after his service in the Korean War and his disturbing experiences there, may give us a clue.]]></description>
