Book Review: Best American Travel Writing 2020

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

This book's scope is wide, its writing inviting, and the sources sometimes suprising.  It's one of those rare books that grabs us from the first lines of its introduction. Immerse yourself in the book from the get-go. Read "Best American Travel Writing 2020" for the introduction alone, as editor Robert Mcfarlane muses about the drama and dramatic upsets that would turn the world, traveling, and travel writing topsy-turvy. West Lafayette Public Library Director Nick Schenkel has the review of this compilation of travel articles.

Nick Schenkel, retired Director of the West Lafayette Public Library, is a long time WBAA contributor who reviews books from all walks of literature.
