FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 31, 2016 TILTED HAT PRESS ANNOUNCES RELEASE DATE OF BREAKFAST FOR ALLIGATORS, THE SECOND BOOK OF TRAVEL NARRATIVES BY AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR DARRIN DUFORD QUEENS, NY – A sharp-shooting SWAT team, a Venezuelan producer of alcoholic love potions, and an audacious subway rat are among the cast of characters award-winning author Darrin DuFord encounters in Breakfast for Alligators: Quests, Showdowns, and Revelations in the Americas. Tilted Hat Press, an Omnivorous Traveler imprint, will release Breakfast for Alligators, the second travel narrative collection by DuFord (author of Is There a Hole in the Boat? Tales of Travel in Panama Without a Car, silver medalist in the 2007 Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Awards) on July 12, 2016. While favoring such mediums as public transit, cuisine, urban wildlife, and music, DuFord searched for peculiar but telling stories around the Western Hemisphere to gain an understanding of the societies he encountered. From surviving a journey in a homemade submarine off the coast of Honduras to receiving a lesson in aging from the street art of Chile, DuFord, whose “richly descriptive and humorous work stands up to the best of Peter Mayle and Anthony Bourdain” as noted by Tim Patterson of the Matador Network, offers adventurers and armchair travelers insightful stories that expose the desires and realities shaping the landscapes of the Americas. Thirteen of the thirty-two pieces in the collection have previously appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, Gastronomica, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, and other publications. The collection includes “Journey by Bottle,” gold medal winner in the 2013 Travelers’ Tales Solas Awards. DuFord is a travel and food writer who has written for such publications as BBC Travel, the San Francisco Chronicle, Gastronomica, Vice, World Hum, and Narratively. His narratives appear in the anthologies Stories of Music (Timbre Press, 2015) and Adventures of a Lifetime: Travel Tales from Around the World (World Traveler Press, 2015). Breakfast for Alligators will be available through Ingram and wherever fine books are sold. To place a wholesale order directly from the publisher, please inquire here.
