Library Journal Recommends ‘Far & Away’


Far and Away: Reporting from the Brink of Change. New York: Scribner, April 2016.

The cultures of the world seem both wildly different and remarkably similar as presented in the careful observations of the veteran writer and National Book Award winner Solomon… His journalism and essays… are beautifully written and highlight cultural transitions around the globe… Clearly, his understanding of place is shaped by his encounters with people and their culture. VERDICT: Solomon’s fans, readers of travel literature, and students of long-form journalism will welcome this addition.
