From a lightning storm in Calcutta to heroin addicts in Tehran, from a dead boy by a roadside in the Himalayas to New York disappearing in a mist, this book maps a one-year journey across the planet. Private reflections, poetry, dreams and journalistic exploration, these fragments weave through questions of identity and love on the road, unfolding as an existential tale for the modern traveller - a headtrip that will take you all kinds of places in the world and inside yourself.
