This collection gathers the best travel essays from The New Yorker,
Harpers, GQ and more—featuring Paul Theroux, Alice Gregory, Dave
Eggers and others. Why do I travel? Why does anyone of us travel? Bill
Bryson poses these questions in his introduction to The Best American
Travel Writing 2016, and though he admits, “I wasn’t at all sure I
knew the answer,” these questions start us on the path of some
fascinating explorations. While the various contributors to this
collection travel for different reasons, they all come back with
stories. Whether traversing the Arctic by dogsled, attending a surreal
film festival in North Korea, or strolling the streets of a
fast-changing Havana, some of today’s best travel writers share
their experiences of the world and the human condition, offering, if
not answers, than illumination and insight. The Best American Travel
Writing 2016 includes Michael Chabon, William T. Vollmann, Helen
Macdonald, Sara Corbett, Stephanie Pearson, Thomas Chatterton
Williams, Pico Iyer, and others.
