Description: Walking Backwards is a return to ten cities and what happened there. Whether inadvertently smuggling "cloth" into Istanbul, reading poetry in New Delhi to a crowd expecting a world-famous pianist, or wandering endlessly through Mantua searching for a non-existent hotel on a street that's fallen off the map, Mark Frutkin is a master of rediscovering the magic at the heart of all travel." --Back cover.
