The year&;s best travel writing, as chosen by series editor Jason Wilson and guest editor Robert Macfarlane


The year&;s best travel writing, as chosen by series editor Jason Wilson and guest editor Robert Macfarlane.

Writing, reading, and dreaming about travel have surged, writes Robert MacFarlane in his introduction to the Best American Travel Writing 2020. From an existential reckoning in avalanche school, to an act of kindness at the Mexican-American border, to a moral dilemma at a Kenyan orphanage, the journeys showcased in this collection are as spiritual as they are physical. These stories provide not just remarkable entertainment, but also, as MacFarlane says, deep comfort, &;carrying hope, creating connections, transporting readers to other-worlds, and imagining alternative presents and alternative futures.&;
 
The Best American Travel 2020 includes
HEIDI JULAVITS &; YIYUN LI &; PAUL SALOPEK &; LACY JOHNSON &;
 EMMANUEL IDUMA &; JON MOOALLEM &; EMILY RABOTEAU and others

Arvustused

"A rewarding armchair experience of the world at large."Publishers Weekly    "As in previous collections, there's something for everyone... an other-worldly tale that fits in nicely with surrealistic aspects of life under lockdown."Booklist
