A collection of 50 tales with enough wanderer woe to make you whistle brightly as you set your alarm clock for work. Alev Croutier tells a wonderful story of making lemonade (or in this case, champagne and caviar) from the Soviet sourpusses on the Trans-Siberian; Paul Theroux describes a desperate escape from Christmas in Africa; and the others (Joe Cummings, Alice Kahn, Pico Ayer, Tony Wheeler, Barbara Kingsolver, Jan Morris, et al) get their licks in telling how miserable it once was.
