The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon

David Grann has an amazing ability to paint his endless piles of research notes into a clear and beautiful narrative. The Lost City of Z had me itching from clouds of mosquitos and tasting wild-caught, grilled piranha. The disappearance of P.H. Fawcett on his quest for the lost city of Z was an entrancing mystery and you can see why it lured so many into the jungle after him.
