A review by sally1
Travels with Alice by Calvin Trillin
Did not finish book.
Usually, I love travel memoirs. This one, however, was just too much for this vegan, animal-rights reader to handle. Mention of unusual meals seemed to contain only animal parts, and the topic seemed to be the focus of each chapter. If not the eating of, then the exploitation of animals (taureaux piscine) told in an isn't-this-funny and who-cares-about-the-animals way.
A seasoned traveler myself, I understand and appreciate all the differences in cultures, and that's what I'd hoped to discover in this book. It just really wasn't the kind of writing that I looked forward to reading. I quit reading at Page 70.
