New travel writing at its best. This updated, revised Pilgrimage relives the pilgrim's journey, exploring its unique towns with affection and bite, including lovingly descriptions of pilgrims met along thé Way. The stories are written with a vibrant and passionate pen.
Commentators say Pilgrimage is "beautiful poetic writing", wising "inspired métaphor", and written "to a breathless walking rhythm".
The Peter Cowan Short Story Prize judge said of one 'Pilgrimage' story: it's "an epic evocation of place. Yes, this story proves that you can produce an epic in a mere 488 words! Like all good fiction, perhaps, this piece is ultimately an investigation into how time passes and works. Energetic, almost punch-drunk writing (I mean that as a complement!): "Let the stray dogs and big ideas fight over the bones behind the Calle mayor. Fabulous!"
