Book Reviews of Stranger on a Train: Daydreaming and Smoking Around America with Interruptions
Book Review: Innovative take on the Travel Book genre
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is worth the cover price alone for the author's description of the smoking-room encounters on board the various trains that she travels on.There are some searing accounts of the authors own life which are imparted to the reader in a real spirit of generosity.
Jenny Diski revels in the sensation of movement while her own person remains constant and unmoving. We have all had that sensation
Having reads this book, I will pursue J.Diski's other work starting with SKATING TO ANTARTICA,
