♥♥♥♥♥ |
author quite unlikable
|
Books like this are often excellent armchair co-pilots as they transport us to a place of interest. It's almost a given that the writer will be someone we would like to have as a travel companion - to share their stories first hand, to raise a glass with, etc. This author is anything but.
I am fascinated by Iceland - it is a wonderful country. It was with eager anticipation that I started this book anxious to hear a different tale - that of an American in Iceland. After all, we do bring the "baggage" of home with us wherever we go. Instead, I found a book about an American, that wishes he was not in his words "burdened by America". His contempt for America, and his sneers at those who are not poets and musicians - after all the world in his view would be a much better place if we all embraced the arts and shunned commercial pursuits -made the writer an utterly unlikable fellow. |
