Contains some travel essays about places like Tangier, Spain, southern Italy, Venice, etc. So far it is captivating to read. I am on about page 70. I am deliberately not looking at the titles of any of the upcoming essays to keep them as a surprise. This author does not waste any time. In a one-page sketch, he can set up a description of the setting and the characters and give the events of a day of travelling without batting an eye. I know this author does not have many books, but regardless, it will be worth it to pursue reading more of them, based on the quality of what I have read so far in this book.
The date of composition or publication is given at the beginning of each piece. Most of them are 60 or 70 years ago. But the seem so fresh. I feel myself wanting to go to where he went to find out if anything has changed.
