Just before leaving for India, we were given the opportunity to read Peter Rudiak Gould’s fantastic book Surviving Paradise, One Year on a Disappearing Island about his time in the Marshall Islands. I enjoyed the book so much, that I contacted Peter to ask him for some more insight into his writing and time spent on the island. He was kind enough to take the time out of his busy schedule to answer my questions. Hope you enjoy our first interview here at ThePlanetD
It takes great talent to talk about culture, politics and history while keeping the reader amused and immersed in the book. I am a traveler, but I will admit, there are very few travel novelists that I love reading. I find that I lose interest part way through the book because the author doesn’t have a lot to say. This was not the case with Surviving Paradise. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from cover to cover.
