Written in the irreverent style that made How to Talk About Books You
Haven't Read a critical and commercial success, Pierre Bayard takes
readers on a trip around the world, giving us essential guidance on
how to talk about all those fantastic places we've never been.
Practical, funny, and thought-provoking, How to Talk About Places
You've Never Been will delight and inform armchair globetrotters and
jet-setters, all while never having to leave the comfort of the living
room. Bayard examines the art of the “non-journey,” a tradition
that a succession of writers and thinkers, unconcerned with moving
away from their home turf, have employed in order to encounter the
foreign cultures they wish to know and talk about. He describes
concrete situations in which the reader might find himself having to
speak about places he's never been, and he chronicles some of his own
experiences and offers practical advice. How to Talk About Places You
Haven't Been is a compelling and delightful book that will expand any
travel enthusiast's horizon well beyond the places it's even possible
to visit in a single lifetime.
