Starred review from May 1, 2017
The introduction to this slim volume of 38 curated entries from the New York Times travel column "Footsteps" states, "all the world is a reliquary, filled with fields, forests, and city plazas that lead visionaries among us to create work that endures the ages." The following brief essays examine the relationships Western literary heroes have had with locales worldwide, looking at what inspired some of our most beloved literature. Arranged into three categories--"United States," "Europe," and "Beyond"--the book will appeal to travelers seeking new destinations and to fans of literature who will find the glimpses of how literary lions have been memorialized worldwide fascinating. From the dusty streets of Arthur Rimbaud's home in Harar, Ethiopia; Pablo Neruda's La Chascona residence in Santiago, Chile; to a hilarious account of Mark Twain's sampling of poi in Hawaii. VERDICT Perfect for browsing, this book will awaken a desire for questing and adventure, be it by plane or by page.--Erin O. Romanyshyn, Saskatoon P.L., Sask.
