In his introduction, guest editor Andrew McCarthy says that the best travel writing is the anonymous and solitary traveler capturing a moment in time and place, giving meaning to his or her travels. The stories in The Best American Travel Writing 2015 demonstrate just that spirit, whether it is the story of a marine returning to Iraq a decade after his deployment, a writer retracing the footsteps of humanity as it spread from Africa throughout the world, or looking for love on a physics-themed cruise down the Rhone River. No matter what the subject, the writers featured in this volume boldly call out, Yes, this matters. Follow me!
The Best American Travel Writing 2015 includes Iris Smyles, Paul Theroux, Christopher Solomon
Patricia Marx, Kevin Baker, Benjamin Busch, Maud Newton
Gary Shteyngart, Paul Salopek,
and others
