review 1: I love William Least Heat-Moon's writing. He's always classified as a travel writer, but he's so much more than that. I often think his books should also be on the spirituality shelf. This most recent volume is a collection of his essays published in various magazines over the last 30 years. These essays cover many locations in the US and around the world, including New Zealand, England, Scotland, and Japan. His essays about the plains and prairies of America are marvelous and poetic. I loved his essays on England and Scotland; his comments about trying to eat the local foods while in the Hebrides are absolutely hysterical. He makes me want to load up the Civic for a long road trip on winding roads.
review 2: Although not quite as compelling as Blue High... moreways it was still interesting even if a little tedious in spots (there are rather lengthy descriptions of nature as well as 'philosophical' musings that tend to lose me). Still, he does manage to see the remnants of ancient (and not so ancient) history which are still visible with the right sort of eyes. In addition to his travels in the U.S. (notably Kansas, Minnesota and eastern Long Island), the author also travels to the British Isles, Japan, New Zealand and the Ligurian Coast of Italy. less
