Arabia Through the Looking Glass by Jonathan Raban

4.0

Arabia is Jonathan Raban's travel book documenting his 14 week journey through the 70s Middle East. A gaudy personnel of earnest souls populate this exciting touristic sketch, and Raban's insight is at once quirky and levelheaded, a unique blend of learned hilarity and sober empathy. This is fiery and illuminating travel writing.
