Tourists with typewriters : critical reflections on contemporary travel writing
Patrick Holland and Graham Huggan.
Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press, 2000
Tourists with Typewriters offers a series of challenging and provocative critical insights into a wide range of travel narratives written in English after the Second World War. The book focuses on contemporary writers and the reasons for travel writing's enduring popularity. The book gauges both the best and the worst in contemporary travel writing, capturing the excitement of this most volatile - and at times infuriating - of literary genres. It will appeal to general readers interested in a closer examination of travel writing and to academic readers in disciplines such as literary/cultural studies, geography, history, anthropology, and tourism studies.
