'Mijn boek gaat over gezinnen die hun kinderen accepteren en over de invloed die dat heeft op de zelfacceptatie van die kinderen', schrijft Solomon.

Some 30 travel pieces, in prose sparkling with insight, describe “places in the throes of transformation.”

I was reading the introduction to this book while Theresa May was telling the Tory Party conference: “If you believe you’re a citizen of the world, you’re a citizen of nowhere.” Andrew Solomon would argue otherwise.

Resilience, hope, flux: Solomon has an outsider’s eagle eye. A dazzling volume.

A collection of dispatches from countries in flux is alert to the differences between tourism and travel.

Far & Away is literary journalism at its crackling best.

With the rising tide of xenophobia around the globe, his warning of the dangers of “circling the wagons” is timely.

Why do we, at a remove, hunger for the traveller’s stories?

All journalists believe that they trade in empathy, but only the best make empathy – the ability to see the world through other eyes – their defining quality.

Stylish essays, written over 25 years of travel across seven continents, explore moments of transition and argue the importance of understanding the ‘other’.
