Reviews for The Best American Travel Writing 2011
21 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this book and have enjoyed other books in this series which are published annually. There are 25 or so stories by different authors about experiences around the world. They are not all simple stories of, say, someone's week in Paris or Rome. A story might be, for example, from a war correspondent in Afghanistan. Every year someone different chooses the final selections to be published so the books are always quite different.
