Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In these eight interconnected travel stories, journalist Gayle Forman traces the trajectory from her relatively comfortable life in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen to her sometimes extreme—and extremely personal—experiences in some of the most exotic spots on earth In this extraordinary memoir—now issued in paperback—Gayle Forman takes us with her to the mountain hideaways of Kazakhstan’s Tolkien fanatics and inside the townships of South Africa’s lost tribe of Israel. She introduces us to a wild assortment of characters: lovelorn Tongan transvestites, charismatic Tanzanian rap stars, precocious Cambodian street kids, out-of-work Dutch prostitutes. In the artful interplay of these eight lively, thoughtful stories, she reveals how all of these diverse lives—as well as our own—are being inextricably altered by the ever-shrinking world that we share. Because, she writes, "To forget the humanity in others is to risk forgetting one’s own." About the AuthorGAYLE FORMAN is an award-winning investigative journalist who has traveled the world to report for such publications as the New York Times Magazine, The Nation, Glamour, Elle, and Seventeen.
