Book Description
On the theory that an account of a pleasant journey is best not thrust upon friends and strangers, that a disaster makes for a more entertaining story, here is a gathering of quotes, commentary, and anecdotes about the travails of travel, the downright strangeness of foreign places, and rueful encounters on the road. Abetted by a parade of well-known curmudgeons that include George Bernard Shaw, Molly Ivins, Marco Polo, Carl Sandburg, and Bill Bryson, best-selling author Jon Winokur offers a thousand reasons not to go there. The Traveling Curmudgeon proves that travel and all things related to going from here to there - destinations, the locals, the tourists, the food, the accommodations, and, oh my god, the souvenirs we drag home - are all grist for a very entertaining mill. Lively illustrations accompany this comic cautionary.
