About the book
From the moment he joined the paper, A.A. Gill wanted to interview places—to discover the personality of a place as if it were a person, to listen and talk to it. This dazzling collection brings together pieces mostly from the Sunday Times, but also from GQ, Tatler and Condé Nast Traveller. Gill writes with a clarity and acerbity that conveys the intensity of his experiences as he travels around the world, taking in Sudan, India, Cuba, Germany and California. In each piece, there is a central image Gill uses as the key to unlocking the personality of a place—a unique approach that makes this collection both distinctive and utterly compelling.
