What's the best travel writing? I'm looking for stuff closer to P.L. Fermor than Barnes and Noble-core like Wild or Eat Pray Love. You know, something written by someone who knows how to make a place come off the page. Bonus points for casual racism

Great writers who travel almost always produce great travel writing. Read Goethe, Orwell, Mark Twain, etc.. Better than any of that NYT bestseller shit.

Matthiessen. Though he toned down the racism as he aged.

I never noticed much racism in his work, at least not at the same level of Fermor. A lot of Blue Meridian was devoted to shots at apartheid. Then again I have yet to read The Snow Leopard so for all I know there could be some hilarious Indian/Nepalese jokes

Sorry about shoddy quality but this was the fun geometric cover I got.

Anyway this book is great. Personally I'm not into non fiction generally unless its about nature, so with its themes we got on. I read it when I was holidaying in Spain and yet was absorbed with the freezing wilds of Alaska. Its also very well written.

Doesn't have much value in re-reading it but it's all ive got so for you.
