Perceptive Travel Book Reviews February 2021
by Susan Griffith
In this issue: A brilliantly entertaining account both funny and serious of cycling across five continents, an exhaustive (and exhausting) description of an expat summer in Galicia, and a diverting compendium of travel puzzles and quizzes.
By Stephen Fabes
The round-the-world journey by bicycle that gave rise to this splendid account can justly be described as epic, though the author would avoid any such boastful epithet. At age 29, after practicing medicine for a couple of years in the emergency department of a London hospital, the author self-diagnoses a case of
Sehnsucht, which translates as yearning for ideal alternative experiences. He later uses another word new to me which could be construed in the same way: dromomania is a psychiatric diagnosis (no longer current) of wanderlust, desire for frequent traveling. (Perhaps we are all psychologically suffering from this at the moment!)
