Here, There, Elsewhere: Stories from the Road

This collection of travel tales from the road is "an admirable combination of reportage and boots-on-the-ground observation" (Minneapolis Star Tribune).Here, There, Elsewhere draws together for the first time William Least Heat-Moon's greatest short-form travel writing. Personally selected by the writer, these pieces take us from Japan, England, Italy, and Mexico to Long Island, Oregon, Arizona, from small towns to big cities, ocean shores and inland mysteries.Including Heat-Moon's reflections on writing these pieces, Here, There, Elsewhere is much more than the usual collection of amber; it is a coupled summation of craft and memory. A perfect treasury of prose and provocation for readers old and new, Heat-Moon's most recent work reveals his absolute mastery across pages many and few."William Least Heat-Moon's [Here, There, Elsewhere] is not a meandering travelogue, but a philosophical peregrination about the act of travel, its universal effects, and personal consequences." —Wichita Eagle"A dazzling variety of places, people and curiosities, linked by a highway of funny, perceptive, and generous prose." ―Publishers Weekly Read more
