Enjoyed the opening story about the homeless woman and the ballerina and the story that contributed the title. ( ) The tone in this travel book spans from wild parties on Thursday Island and lucky boat races along the West Coast to somber caregiving in Calcutta and a spooky story in Borneo. I liked the exotic pieces in Vanuatu and Maldives compared to the more mundane places in America. But to make up for it, Hansen gives the reader a close-up of individuals like Zoya and the Birdman. Overall an interesting read. This book is a collection of stories about the author's experiences traveling the world. I really like the way the author relates to the people he encounters while traveling. His tone never sounds patronizing or condescending, and he seems to have very genuine interactions with the people he meets. I am interested to read more by Hansen. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Eric Hansen survives a cyclone on a boat off the Australian coast, cradles a dying man in Calcutta, and drinks mind-altering kava in Vanuatu. He helps a widower search for his wife's wedding ring amid plane-crash wreckage in Borneo and accompanies topless dancers on a bird-watching expedition in California. From the Maldives to Sacramento, from Cannes to Washington Heights, Eric Hansen has a way of getting himself into the most sacred ceremonies and the most candid conversations.
