Klappentext
'Jamie Lafferty has written a kind of Antarctic Roughing It - a wise, rude, hilarious and oddly moving account of the author's unusual quest to see all eighteen species of penguin. Like several of the birds he writes about, real travel writers are critically endangered. A n Inconvenience of Penguins proves they are not extinct.'
Ed Caesar, author of The Moth and the Mountain
'Fascinating and funny, this book - unlike its charismatic subject - wonderfully takes flight.'
Peter Ross, author of Steeple Chasing 'Jamie Lafferty is undoubtedly one of the best travel writers in the English language today: this brilliant debut is both a mad quest and fantastically original memoir. It reveals, in glorious technicolour, so much about these little black and white birds.'
Oliver Smith, author of On This Holy Island 'Travel writer turned global birder Jamie Lafferty embarks on an epic quest - in which the journey is at least as entertaining as the end result.'
Stephen Moss, author of Ten Birds That Changed the World
