Cannibal Quest (1933) by Gordon Sinclair is a travelogue documenting his journey through Southeast Asia, where he sought out stories of, or evidence of, cannibalism and other exotic adventures.
It is known as a fast-paced, sensationalized account blending adventure, miscellaneous information, and "journalese" reporting, which became a Canadian best-seller and reached the top 10 in the U.
S.
Written after his first successful book, Foot-loose in India, this was his second travel book, published during his time as a globetrotting reporter for the Toronto Star.
It is described as light, entertaining "escape reading" rather than a scholarly anthropological work, packed with adventures and anecdotes, including meetings with other travellers.
