| Description: |
Combining impressionism, history, and political interpretation, Morris's essays convey the essence of places as diverse as post-Watergate Washington, Manhattan, Delhi under Mrs. Gandhi, and Los Angeles. |
| Synopsis: |
In these essays which originally appeared in Rolling Stone, Jan Morris captures the essence of places as diverse as Washington just after Watergate, Delhi under Mrs. Gandhi, Panama on the eve of the U.S. treaty debate, and Cairo at the time of the Israeli-Egyptian peace talks. Her essay on Manhattan may be the single best article on New York since E.B. White's famous book 30 years ago. She also writes on L.A., Pretoria and Rhodesia, London, Istanbul, and Trieste. |
