The End of Elsewhere Travels Among the Tourists
Author: Taras Grescoe
"The End of Elsewhere is a kind of post-millennium Heart of Darkness, with Grescoe's Marlowe on the trail of a hypothetical camera-toting, Hawaiian-shirted Kurtz . . .

It will be treasured by anyone who has been conned by 'authentic' travel.Taras Grescoe has written articles on travel for Condé Nast Traveler, National Geographic Travelerand The New York Times.
