He’d just written a PDF guide for gringos. The guide is no Lonely Planet: focusing on drugs, sex, love and violence, it’s by turns lurid and sordid, with many detailed descriptions of sex and violence. For this reason, it comes across as honest, and, frankly, captivating; mixing the ethics of stabbing prisonmates with theories of Latina love-psychology. I would not, however, consider it workplace or family reading.

Incidentally, Google Reader ‘found’ this for me – suggesting that I might like it. If its recommendations for what I might enjoy reading continue to be so accurate, I may no longer need to use Tyler Cowen as my human information filter.
