Reviews

LaSalle shows himself to be a smart and open writer with a restless intellect and infectious passion for travel and literature.--Publishers Weekly LaSalle's command of the language is admirable, but even more admirable is his moral vision.--Dallas Times-Herald LaSalle's dreamlike sense of exploration through past and present, memory and loss, the mundane and the profound, not only keeps the reader on the brink of discovery but also paints a picture far more vivid than any standard travel narrative.--Ploughshares LaSalle's stories are full of detail, and he knows how to create a sense of place, be it Buenos Aires, Austin, Texas, Paris, or Boston.--Atlanta Journal-Constitution
