The New York Times Book Review visits Trebekistan

Posted on October 22, 2006 by Bob

Prisoner of Trebekistan just got a few more nice words:

Harris has been, among other things, a stand-up comic, and it shows in his book, in lively phrases and an ear for the incongruous… makes you feel what it was like to be in the green room and at the lectern… a skilled storyteller… pulls you in like a good sports story.

What really happens when you lend $25 via Kiva.org to help an overseas mom-and-pop business? I followed my own money all the way to clients in Peru, Nepal, Cambodia, Lebanon, Kenya, and a dozen other countries. Do you really get paid back? And does it really do any good?
