Travel Writing by Peter Ferry
Even as it makes playful puzzles out of truth and illusion, metafiction has the same goal as conventional fiction: to make the reader care. Why else would we stick around for 300 pages? What draws us into “Travel Writing” is the author’s pure love of teaching and his thirst for travel, which seem dazzlingly authentic. What leaves us unmoved is the book’s main events, which the author has convinced us are beyond belief.
