Review & Description
29 in Asia is twenty-nine chapters set in the backpacker culture of Asia. They intertwine truth and fiction and together paint a sense of shoe-string traveling: gritty, romantic, trivial, mind-snapping, listless, therapeutic, and always desiring after more.
Each episode is also an experiment in form. Heidegger and Vipassana Meditation overlaps a philosophy text and a meditation technique. Ctrl-F To Find It tells of the ubiquitous internet cafes that, no matter a locale’s remoteness, can seduce you for an afternoon. Give Unto the Dogs is fast-paced and mimics sleepless, sensory Bangkok. Short Smelly Men is straight journalistic narrative set in March in the Himalayas.
Chapter locations include: Kathmandu, Assam, Benares, Delhi, Sen Monorom, Angkor Wat, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Palawan, Cordilleras, and Manila.
People asked after include: backpackers, bus drivers, barbers, expats, Lonely Planet toters, amateur philosophers, sadhus, Sherpas, street vendors, street walkers, street dealers, and street dwellers that make up a traveling trail in Asia.
