Exposure A journey PB 256 PP 230 x 150 ISBN 9781862548237 $24.95 True Stories / Travel Wakefield Press Exposure is a funny and poignant memoir of adventure and love with a sharp psychological edge. Joel Magarey, a young journalist haunted by both inflated dreams and obsessive-compulsive disorder, abandons his career and girlfriend of seven years for a long-imagined global odyssey – and unimagined perils. Travel tale, love story and generation-X tragicomedy, Exposure is about wanting and fearing too much, choosing too little and how a person can spend three weeks solid in Los Angeles searching for the perfect sleeping bag. ‘A striking and substantial book, at once compelling, scary, delightfully comic and moving.’ – Tom Shapcott ‘The misadventures of the young Joel, erotic and otherwise, during an odyssey to some of the remoter corners of the world, are related with wry honesty.’ – J.M. Coetzee ‘An extraordinary story . . . wry, honest, amusing and evocative.’ – Eva Hornung Related titles: |
