Keep the River on Your Right

In this memoir, the painter Tobias Schneebaum recounts his unusual experience as an adopted member of the Amarakaire tribe who live in the Amazon, where he ventured as a Fulbright scholar in the 1960s. Though declared dead by the United States State Department, Schneebaum was actually living among this tribe of cannibals, even accompanying them in their hunt for members of a neighboring tribe--and reluctantly sharing in the feast that followed.
