Though this news story ridiculously refers to Borat Sagdiyev as a “fictional Kazakh television reporter,” I still think it’s worth a mention.
Evidently, the articulate, suave, and uber-sophisticated Borat has just agreed to share his eminient knowledge and produce a book of travel advice. Two books in one, the first half is a guide to the United States for Kazakhs; the second half is a guide to Kazakhstan for Westerners. Wisely, the book will have a dual title: “Borat: Touristic Guidings To Minor Nation of U.S. and A.” and “Borat: Touristic Guidings To Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.” Who needs The Smart Traveler’s Passport?
Evidently, Borat’s book will be filled with images, illustrations, and practical advice. We’ll do our best to get him in for a Talking Travel.
