Review Quotes
Times Higher Education
"Malamud . . . transmit[s] to his readers the way travel can provoke joy, widen our aesthetics and offer a buffet of experiences. . . . On the whole, an entertaining series on unexpected topics."
Christopher Schaberg, Loyola University New Orleans and the author of The Work of Literature In An Age of Post-Truth
"A deft blend of auto-theory, cultural criticism, and travel writing, Randy Malamud’s The Importance of Elsewhere takes the reader on a delightful journey around the world and through the searching mind. A psychogeographical page-turner!"
