 Welcome to the Bethlehem Star Hotel by Ben GranbyAn Account of Life in Palestine with Descriptions of People, Places and IncidentsBen Granby, frustrated American food service worker, takes a multifarious, backroads ramble through the combat zone of Israel/Palestine, circa 2002. His motivation? To throw himself headlong into other people's problems. Ben Granby gained some notoriety in the late 1990's for managing a troupe of guerilla theater performers and running for county coroner in Madison, Wisconsin. He received 33% of the vote on a platform against zombification. While intermittently working as a banquet waiter in the midwest, he blew his savings on unusual trips overseas, posturing himself as a war journalist with fake credentials. He has traveled through the Balkans, Iraq, Colombia, Lebanon, the Palestinian Occupied Territories and Syria. He has also spent time with Albanian guerillas in Macedonia, American soldiers in Iraq and Palestinian militias. Paperback 228 pages - 6" x 7" - (2/06)
