The Conde Nast Traveler Book of Unforgettable Journeys:
Great Writers on Great Places
Edited by Klara Glowczewska
Penguin, 416 pages, $16 paper
Haven’t gotten away this summer? Find airlines a prohibitively expensive hassle? This collection of essays by wonderful writers — including Shirley Hazzard, Robert Hughes and Edmund White — on places like Capri, Barcelona and Jordan — is a delight. Practical advice follows each essay and is as well-written as the essays themselves, distinguishing this volume from most travel books. Where else might an author like Francine Prose follow her essay about Prague with a Franz Kafka walking tour?
