description: Appealing to both those who like to travel and those who just like to read about travel, this book features entries about a wide variety of locations in a style that is part memoir, part reportage, and part good old-fashioned story. Many of the world’s best writers are featured in this edition, including Salman Rushdie, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Paul Theroux, Jonathan Raban, Norman Lewis, Graham Swift, Isabel Hilton, and Christopher Hitchens. Every essay is a gem, from “A Coup” by Bruce Chatwin to “Fat Girls in Des Moines” by Bill Bryson.
