A Sense of Place: Great Travel Writers Talk about Their Craft, Lives, and Inspiration Paperback - 2004
by Michael Shapiro
"A Sense of Place" is one writer's journey to visit all the heroes who have motivated him--to pack a pen and toothbrush, to find out where they live, why they chose the place, and how it influences their writing.
Summary
Great writers inspire readers to head out in search of foreign sunsets, but in this instance, they inspired travel writer Michael Shapiro to head out for the great writers themselves. A Sense of Place is one writer's journey to visit all the heroes who have motivated him — to pack a pen and toothbrush, to find out where they live, why they chose the place, and how it influences their writing. In each scene, readers, writers, and travelers are given a glimpse of the locale and surroundings of the writer: Simon Winchester's Massachusetts, Redmond O'Hanlon's London, Jan Morris's Wales, or Frances Mayes's Tuscany. But then it's left up to the writers themselves to situate the reader and describe their lives, their craft, and their remarkable world, which they do with living room intimacy. The result is engaging, illuminating, and transporting for writers and travelers alike.
