A. Gill is one of the most feared writers in London, noted - according to the New York Times - for his "rapier wit." Some even consider the mere assignment of a subject to Gill a hostile act. But when the notice "A. A. Gill Is Away" runs in the Sunday Times of London, the city can rest peacefully in the knowledge that the writer is off traveling." "Upon his return, readers are treated to an account of his vacations to places like famine-stricken Sudan, the pornography studios of California's San Fernando Valley, the dying Aral Sea or the seedy parts of Kaliningrad. The result is one of the most stylish and irreverent collections of travel writing."--BOOK JACKET UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0640/2005050017-s.html ER -
