It??s hard not to love David Farley.
He??s the poster-child of a Walking Party travel writer. He eloped to Italy with fellow travel writer Jessie Sholl. He watched a pig get slaughtered outside of Prague and used that for his contribution to Traveler??s Tales Prague (which he also co-edited with Sholl).
More recently he has become a sort of Indiana Jones for the Gen-X set (his current book is on the search for Jesus Christ??s foreskin which, up until 1983, was allegedly preserved in the Italian hill-town of Calcata).
