Whether ascending a miraculous escalator in a Kathmandu shopping mall or sinking, amidst tattooed yakuza, into a Japanese electric bath, Greenwald finds beauty in the detailsand knits them into his vivid, quirky narratives. Here is the best of Jeff Greenwalds short travel writing, hand-picked from two decades of open-eyed dispatches. Spanning oceans, continents, and the quantum leap from the Smith-Corona to the Cybercaf, these stories provide an illuminating, often hilarious view of our changing world, as seen through the eyes of Americas favorite cult travel writer.
