Andrew Westoll

Andrew Westoll is an award-winning narrative journalist and internationally published author. His first book, The Riverbones, is a passionate, stunningly written travel-memoir and eco-narrative that describes his five-month odyssey-of-return through the untouched rainforests of Suriname, where he once lived as a monkey researcher. An excerpt won gold at the 2007 National Magazine Awards. His latest, The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary, grapples with questions of what we owe to the animals who are our nearest genetic relations.
