ning Field in New Mexico, to chasing Gauguin's ghost in French Polynesia, White
Sands is a creative exploration of why we travel. Episodic, wide-ranging and fun

and cantankerous wit that is unmatched. From one of the most original writers in
Britain, this is a book for armchair travellers and procrastinating philosopher
s everywhere.
