More DescriptionA playful and gently satiric novel concerning Wuians living in, and tourists in general visiting, the fictional Caribbean island of Wui. When tourism supports an economy entirely, naturally this industry becomes enormously important and influential. Top Mixologists, Linenoligists, Culinarists and other service related professionals ending in "ist" spring up to strengthen Wui's Touristland. The University of Culinary Skills and Mixology also does its part, organizing Cosmic Cookoffs and Debonair Drinkoffs, taking the lead in innovative, scientific research into things like Ecopus and Dewdrops to enhance food and drink satisfaction, and throwing big food parties free of cost to honour Touristland's tens of thousands of tourists. Lively, informative, comic and dramatic in its portrayal of Touristland and all that connects it including those who are or intend to become tourists in places like Wui where sea, sun and sand prevail to outshine the ludicrous.
