Keep the River on Your Right

Keep the River on Your Right

"Keep the River on your Right" is a short memoir written by painter/anthropologist Tobias Schneebaum and published in 1969. It is an account of his journey into the jungles of Peru where he is accepted by "primitive" Indians and ultimately a tribe of cannibals. The book is most renowned for its anthropological observation of flesh-eating rituals and the honest, light-hearted style in which it was written.

The book was the basis for a 2000 documentary film of the same title by filmmakers David and Laurie Gwen Shapiro.
