The best yet. I realize others thought the definition of 'travel' was too broad but that was the strength of the collection. Brilliant writing abounds. Guest editor Theroux chose articles that differed greatly in tone and style. Like others, I think "Fifty Shades of Greyhound" deserves a spot in the comedy hall of fame. A.A. Gill's put down of European anti-Americanism is also delicious. Sean Wilsey on Venice is an absolute stunner, ditto Jeffrey Tayler's sojourn in China/Tibet, Alex Shoumatoff on the last "undiscovered" tribes on the Amazon in Brazil and on and on. It is true this collection might better be described as "Best Writing about Places"--but what a journey it is - entertaining, sad, exhilarating, thought provoking, hilarious. Bravo--the best collection yet
