Travel Stories From Great Authors
September 3rd, 2008 Posted in Leffel projects, Perceptive Travel, Travel books
The new issue of Perceptive Travel is out, with six great travel stories from four continents, plus travel book reviews and world music reviews.
Tony Perrottet, the author of Napoleon’s Privates, returns with an excerpt from that book, on times when travel was far more decadent than it is today. Amy Rosen returns to take us down the Bloodvein River in Manitoba, Lea Aschkenas goes on a tough hiking trip in Iceland, and Michael Shapiro discusses Paul Theroux’s new book through a meeting with one of its characters.
We’ve got some new authors on board, with a Patagonia story from Camille Cusumano and a return to India from Anne Cushman.
I step up for the book reviews and Laurence Mitchell handles the global music reviews. See the lineup for those and the scoop on all the other stories on the Perceptive Travel issue page.
