Goodreads asked Oliver Dowson:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Oliver Dowson This one was easy! I made countless business trips, quite a lot of which resulted in unusual, amusing and sometimes scary experiences. I used to come back to my office and recount my tales - my colleagues were very nice, and rather than looking bored to tears keep telling me that I should write a book one day. So I did! "There's No Business Like International Business" recounts a long trip around South America, in which I faced civil insurrection, flights that nearly crashed and the risk of kidnap. The second part is the story of a trip around Southeast Asia in the company of an obstreperous colleague. It's not a business book, it's a travelogue. And it leaves me dozens of other experiences to recount in the future!
