Cahill has selected very well. Adopting the philosophy that travel writers are "writers first, travelers second," Cahill has created a diverse collection, full of insights, humor, the exotic and distant, and the ordinary and near. The narratives cover travel in Vietnam, where the air is an "oxygen chowder"; visits to the "last savages" of West Papua, Indonesia; the surreally transformed city of Dubai; and a wayward cough drop in David Sedaris's flight to Raleigh, as well as a remembered Ohio childhood, reminding the reader that one traveler's exotic is often another's ordinary. The stories were chosen from a range of publications, including The New Yorker, the Georgia Review, Travel + Leisure, Outside, and FarFlungMagazine.com. |
