    About this product

    Product Information

    In spite of the fact that her idea of travel is to stay home with the phone off the hook, Jenny Diski takes a trip around the perimeter of the USA by train. Somewhat reluctantly she meets all kinds of characters, all bursting with stories to tell and finds herself brooding about the marvellously familiar landscape of America, half-known already through film and television. Like the pulse of the train over the rails, the theme of the dying pleasures of smoking thrums through the book, along with reflections on the condition of solitude and the nature of friendship and memories triggered by her past times in psychiatric hospitals. Cutting between her troubled teenaged years and contemporary America, the journey becomes a study of strangers, strangeness and estrangement - from oneself, as well as from the world.

      Delivered as advertised but the courier has lied about how they delivered the package stating it was put through the letterbox while it was left out in the open. Text from them and actual placement of the item as seen feom my door camera in added photos. I informed the seller. It was stated that the delivery was by royal mail, but it was amazon that sent me the delivery confirmation. Either way, the book has been received albeit not without worrying about someone stealing it.
