LITERARY TRAILS
(One more beautiful excuse to travel...)
So many great novels with great locations, so little time! And eventually, my legs get tired......
One of my first literary adventures was to trace Darley through Alexandria (Darley is the narrator in Lawrence Durrell's JUSTINE).
But after teaching John Grisham's THE BROKER for the Arizona in Italy program, I knew I had to go back to Bologna and trace the steps of his protagonist. I even had to go to Treviso. Really, there is hardly any better excuse for travel--other than to create settings for your own novels, of course!
For a quick virtual tour:
On the Trail of:
John Grisham
W.B. Yeats
J.R.R. Tolkien
