He’s back! In this second travel memoir, The Man Without a Plan lands in Belize, a country about which he knows nada. But he quickly amasses an array of new friends – some of whom can even match his penchant for being in a near-constant buzz from industrial-quantity drugs and drink.

As ever, the characters with whom Steven ingratiates himself become his surrogate (dysfunctional) family. But Tracey, Devonais, Ask Bobby!, Valentino and a pack of kids led by the feral Molokai soon have Steven suspecting that his cheerfully transactional relationships are, in fact, ensnaring him in a web of scams. Will he be left for broke, stranded in this shabby paradise? Is his paranoia justifiable, or the result of continuous cocaine use? His response is to embark with the gang on a road trip along the coast, taking in shantytowns, hotels, beaches and, at a low ebb, jail.

Coarse, irresponsible and wilfully uninformed, Froelich is nevertheless observant and interested. Belize is about the ways in which chaotic, complex human beings find community, no matter where they’re from or where they’re headed.

Actor/playwright Steven Froelich was born and raised near Chicago, and has resided in London for over a decade. His first play, They Offered Bob and Wilma Cash, starred Sylvia Miles. His second play, Weekend In Rio, was workshopped at the Steppenwolf Studio in Chicago with Laurie Metcalfe in the lead, followed by public performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it received two Best Actress nominations. Oscar Zárate is an award-winning illustrator. In addition to the Froelich Misadventure series, his books include collaborations with Alan Moore (A Small Killing), Alexei Sayle (Geoffrey the Tube Train and the Fat Comedian) and Richard Appignanesi (Lenin for Beginners, Introducing Freud).
