A wonderfully insightful and funny compendium of travel writing from the celebrated Sunday Times journalist and critic. 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.
