This collection of linked essays from Timothy Morrell explores, with a deft ironic touch, our obsession with travel, in the process taking us to some places that perhaps only the author would want to visit.
“Having a severed cobra’s head dropped in my wine glass and sitting down to an expensive main course of cobra is one of those traveller’s experiences I’d rather someone else did for me. That someone else is Timothy Morrell, who seems to specialise in cutting-edge travel. Most of us don’t immediately think Moldova when contemplating our holidays. Morrell survived it, albeit with a broken ankle and keeping the company of unemployed alcoholics in a “bleak little concrete tavern”. Morrell has a light, ironic style – and a talent for irony is definitely a necessity when visiting some of the places he has.” Sydney Morning Herald
Timothy Morrell was born in Melbourne, but spent long periods living overseas. He was formerly a curator at various Australian public galleries, and also worked independently on exhibition projects in Australia, Asia and Europe. He began writing for travel magazines when he passed his use-by date as a contemporary art writer.
