“Unless there is a strong sense of place there is no travel writing, but it need not come from topographical description; dialogue can also convey a sense of place. Even so, I insist, the traveler invents the place. Feeling compelled to comment on my travel books, people say to me, ‘I went there—China, India, the Pacific, Albania– and it wasn’t like that.’ I say, because I am not you” – Paul Theroux | Travel Quote of the Day
