I HAD LONG ADVOCATED TRAVEL OUTSIDE ONE’S COMFORT ZONE IN MY WRITINGS. NOW I WOULD WALK THE TALK.’
From her bookish childhood in 1980s India to her 2022 shock cancer diagnosis in Spain, Pallavi Aiyar has been a lifelong wayfarer. Journeying through decades, languages and continents, she has gathered a kaleidoscope of lenses through which to view the terrain without, and the self within.
Travels in the Other Place is an original and insightful collection of personal essays that takes a deep dive into themes of identity and belonging across varied landscapes, both physical and metaphorical. Blending memoir, philosophy and travel writing, these are eight discrete encounters with the author at different ages, in different locations.
A witty and humane meditation that excavates the personal-illness, passports, parenting, even hair-to reveal sharp universal truths about navigating life in a globalised, yet fractured, world.
