Review

  • 'In these pages, Taseer is such a traveller: the maps he is working with are those of the world, and also of the body, the soul, and the senses. His findings are fascinating and rich.' --Amitava Kumar, author of My Beloved Life
  • 'Aatish Taseer shows us how to see the world: He reveals what's beneath the facades, what we're missing, how it's all connected--and also how it all feels, tastes, and smells.' --Benjamin Moser, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Sontag: Her Life and Work
  • 'Ambitious in scope and impressive in its execution, this blended non-fiction work holds two truths at once: humanity's tendency toward destruction and discrimination, as well as its compulsion toward connection.' --Felicia Reich, A Paste, Most Anticipated Book of the Year
  • 'From the high Andes to the heart of Mongolia, Aatish Taseer writes as captivatingly about history, spirituality, and the senses as he does poignantly.' --Maya Jasanoff, author of The Dawn Watch
  • 'From a collection of moving and erudite travel pieces, Aatish Taseer brilliantly creates a portrait of the outsider, whose search for belonging defines the age in which we live.' --Tash Aw, author of Strangers on a Pier
