FRESH AIR FIEND

Theroux’s travel essays provide intimate glimpses into cultures on five different continents, offering insightful examinations of landscapes, their people, and the author himself. Norman Dietz narrates Theroux’s thoughts about traveling preferences, the writing process, and aging, as well as perspectives on life and himself. As Theroux provides the superb stories, Dietz converts them into colorful images in listeners’ minds. These images are accompanied by so many accounts of adventure and extraordinary settings that listeners may decide to call their travel agents.
