The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean

When inquisitive American journalist Joel Stratte-McClure decides to walk around the Mediterranean Sea, we re in for an exhilarating adventure. As a 30 year expatriate in France, he explores the coast, countryside and regional cultures as well as his own mind with compulsive vigour. Armed with a copy of Homer s Odyssey, he re-opens this great book for us as he ponders life, divorce, Buddhism, alcoholism, the art of trekking and a vast collection of weird, wicked, wonderful people along the way. This is a trip to get into!
