A good read while on the road
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
My Own Devices stands level with Alex Garland's The Beach as one of the best books to capture the essence of being a solo traveller, especially a backpacker. The people, the languages, the foods, and the hundreds of weird or hilarious or scary moments that happen daily which make indie travel so exhilirating and frustrating at once. These short stories aren't really related at all (despite what the blurb says), except that most are first-person travel stories. Some are clear narratives, others more experimental, bordering on Dave Eggers-esque postmodern humour. The sum may not be much more than its parts, but it's a more than worthy read.
