Will Lutwick is the author of recently-released and already-acclaimed memoir, "Dodging Machetes: How I Survived Forbidden Love, Bad Behavior, and the Peace Corps in Fiji."

Will’s Quotes

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
― H.L. Mencken, On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe
