Publisher's Synopsis
Travel has engendered some of the best imaginative writing today, and it is easy to see why: the best travel writers don't write unless they have returned with a story. Combining elements of autobiography, reportage, comedy and simple, good story-telling, 'In Trouble Again' promises to be one of the most memorable collections of travel writing available today: Redmond O'Hanlon lost in the jungles of Venezuela in pursuit of an exotic form of brain damage. Salman Rushdie with the Sandinistas on the Nicaraguan border fighting the Contras. Martha Gellhorn on her first trip to Cuba since moving there after the Spanish Civil War. Timothy Garton Ash in Central Europe. Hanif Kureishi (author of 'My Beautiful Launderette') in Bradford. Ryszard Kapuscinski in Angola. Norman Lewis in Guatemala. Colin Thubron in China. Peregrine Hodson with the guerrillas in Afghanistan.
