My Kind Of Place

The bestselling author of THE ORCHID THIEF and THE BULLFIGHTER CHECKS HER MAKEUP takes readers on a journey to unusual places in this dazzling travelogue. Called a national treasure by The Washington Post and a kind of latter-day Tocqueville by The New York Times Book Review, Susan Orlean, in addition to having written some classic articles for The New Yorker, has had her identity assumed, with some creative liberties, by Meryl Streep in her Golden Globe Award-winning performance in ADAPTATION. Now, in MY KIND OF PLACE, the real Susan Orlean takes readers on a series of remarkable journeys in this witty, sophisticated, and far-flung travel book.
