The Obvious Earth

Literary Nonfiction. This is a book with essays and pictures in it. It's also a way to learn more about: a year long van ride through Africa, ice guiding in Alaska, dancing to Guns n' Roses cover bands in India, drunken bee stings, the snack food known as Uncrustables, the shadow created by shipwrecked cargo ships and other notes on travel, race, heartbreak, movement, stillness.
