Hey Roberto Hu

Hey, Roberto Hu is a collection of descriptive, amusing, and exiting travel stories. The title story takes place in Venezuela during the time when Hugo Chavez was still ruling the country. The third book from Matthias Leue, this volume is written from the perspective of a writer with a photographer’s eye and looks at a fascinating, colorful, often dangerous, amazingly diverse, and unforgettable country with exploration of Caracas, Merida, the Andes, and Los Roques.

The other travel stories in the book take place in California with trips to Santa Cruz and Redding, and several journeys in the Great Pacific Northwest: along the Oregon Coast, in Portland and parts of Washington State.

The introduction features a commentary by the author’s cat, who is of course mentioned briefly in several stories and who hopes to have more representation in future books.

Twenty-seven illustrations in color enhance the stories in the book.
