Description
Paul Theroux’s first collection devoted entirely to travel writing journeys across five continents, moving from the crisp solitude of a snowbound week in the Maine woods to the charged chaos of Hong Kong on the eve of the handover. With characteristic curiosity and candor, Theroux examines what it means to become a stranger, testing assumptions about danger, hospitality, belonging, and the communities shaped by deep roots. These wide-ranging essays combine vivid observation, cultural insight, and the restless spirit of a traveler determined to go as far as possible beyond the familiar.
