About the Author:

JASON WILSON is the author of Godforsaken Grapes: A Slightly Tipsy Journey through the World of Strange, Obscure, and Underappreciated Wine and Boozehound: On the Trail of the Rare, the Obscure, and the Overrated in Spirits. He writes regularly for the Washington Post and the New York Times. Wilson has been the series editor of The Best American Travel Writing since its inception in 2000. His work can be found at jasonwilson.com.
 

From Publishers Weekly:
Buford notes in this robust collection that "place matters, in varying degrees-sometimes a lot, sometimes hardly at all," and goes on to prove it with this year's anthology. Michael Finkel's fascinating account of his stay with the Hazda people in East Africa and Ted Genoways's recollection of a poignant trip with his father to Suriname both will appeal to readers with a curiosity about spots less traveled. But readers with greater interest in human experience than exotic locales will also find much to cherish. David Sedaris's anecdotes of encounters with strangers on trains and Peter LaSalle's contribution on the connection between walking and writing, both bravely candid, could occur anywhere. Peter Jon Lindberg, in the standout "In Defense of Tourism," questions the tendency of travel enthusiasts to "parse the world's offerings into things tourists do versus things 'locals' do, as if the mere act of residing somewhere confers a sense of style." With a welcome range of geography and point-of-view, Buford has curated a diverse and engrossing collection.
