Fresh air fiend

travel writings, 1985-2000

  • 3 Want to read

"In this collection of essays and articles written over the last fifteen years, Paul Theroux demonstrates how the traveling life and the writing life are intimately connected. Not simply an escape from the mundane, travel has always been a creative act for Theroux. His journeys in remote hinterlands and crowded foreign capitals provide the necessary perspective to "become a stranger" in order to discover the self.".

"From the crisp quiet of a solitary week spent in the snowbound Maine woods, to the expectant chaos of Hong Kong on the eve of the Hand-over, to a small Pacific island where atomic bombs were detonated, Theroux is the perfect guide - casually informative, keenly observant, wry, and entertaining."--BOOK JACKET.
