Resumen del libro

In his introduction, guest editor Andrew McCarthy says that the best travel writing is the anonymous and solitary traveler capturing a moment in time and place, giving meaning to his or her travels. The stories in"The Best American Travel Writing 2015"demonstrate just that spirit, whether it is the story of a marine returning to Iraq a decade after his deployment, a writer retracing the footsteps of humanity as it spread from Africa throughout the world, or looking for love on a physics-themed cruise down the Rhone River. No matter what the subject, the writers featured in this volume boldly call out, Yes, this matters. Follow me!
