Read Ebook The Green Season, by Robert Isenberg
A dynamic collection of essays and reportage, The Green Season illustrates daily life in Costa Rica, a tiny Central American nation dedicated to peace and teeming with tropical life. With his trademark humor and observation, Robert Isenberg describes the people, culture, and biodiversity that make Costa Rica so unique—from a centuries-old indigenous ceremony to a remote jungle crisscrossed by crocodile-filled canals. Isenberg explores the country head-on, fighting his way through San José traffic, mingling with venomous snakes, and even making a cameo in an epic soccer film at the height of World Cup fever. Richly detailed and tenderly written, The Green Season is one expat’s love letter to his adoptive homeland.

Funny, thoughtful and moving By Karl Kahler “The Green Season” is an excellent compilation of Robert’s best work at The Tico Times, about his first year in Costa Rica, starting with a hilarious story about dealing with spiders and insects in his new home.Some of the funniest stories are on the most routine topics — Robert rides the bus, Robert buys a car, Robert goes to the dentist.But Robert is also capable of prize-worthy journalism, as in his account of visiting a home for former child sex workers, or his counterintuitive interview with Costa Rica’s most celebrated poet.Robert’s travel writing is also exquisite, whether he’s going on a night bioluminescence tour in Panama or mistakenly arrives in Limón the day after Carnaval, missing all the festivities, but then turns around and writes the definitive profile of a dubious city he is determined to love.Highly recommended for anyone who loves Costa Rica or wants to learn more about it — or anyone who just loves good writing.

After exchanging a few texts, we met (appropriately enough) at San José's international book fair. That year's honored guests? American authors.We shared our mutual surprise at the lack of solid English literature on Costa Rica, traveling Costa Rica, or perhaps living in Costa Rica. Even a book that simply went beyond the tropes of Costa Rica serving as some sort of retirement Utopia would be nice, I thought.I was thrilled to see The Tico Times moving forward with this project months later after our initial meeting in San José, and can honestly report back that "The Green Season" is a thoroughly enjoyable, quick read that goes beyond the tourist destinations (though they are there), and delivers insight into Costa Rica the country, its people, and life abroad as an expatriate. Robert and I only met on a couple of occasions, so suffice it to say that I write this glowing review out of my own volition, not out of some sort of friendly obligation.If you're planning to move to Costa Rica, visit Costa Rica, or simply have an interest in a corner of the globe that the English literary world has paid little attention to, I highly recommend picking up a copy of "The Green Season."

Isenberg combines a journalist's eye for detail with a writer's panache and a great sense of humor By El Otro Mr. Isenberg combines a journalist's eye for detail with a writer's panache and a great sense of humor. "The Green Season" takes readers on a lighthearted journey through the experience of moving to Costa Rica, navigating a new cultural and geographic landscape, and growing to love a new home. More than a simple travelogue, this book brings readers deeper into the day-to-day trial and tribulations that make living in a new country so exciting and, occasionally, puzzling. If you like smart travel writing, want to learn more about Costa Rica, or are looking for some smart escapism, this is a great book.
