In Lonesome Traveller we join Jack Kerouac the enfant terrible of the Beat poets, as he roams the US, Mexico, Morocco, Paris & London, breathlessly recording the life of the road. Standing on the engine of a train as it rushes past fields of prickly cactus; witnessing his first bullfight in Mexico while high on opium; catching up with the beat night-life in New York; burying himself in the snow capped mountains of north-west America; meditating on a sunlit roof in Tangiers; or falling in love with Montmartre & the huge white basilica of Sacré Couer
- Kerouac reveals the endless diversity of human life & his own high-spirited philosophy of self-fulfillment. Highly recommended for both seasoned readers of Kerouac & his contemporaries, & also for those looking for a heavy dose of wanderlust.

After two months on board a Russian container ship sailing 15, 000 miles across the world, Josie finally arrives in New Zealand with her bike. Over the next nine months she cycles 10, 000 kilometres all over North & South Islands while experiencing the wettest, windiest & stormiest year on record. During this time Josie was spat at, shouted at, honked at, & both run off & blown off the road. She got soaked, sunburnt, hailed on & snowed on & was alternately starved & over-fed, over-charged & under-charged. Then there was the wildlife: the possums (both dead & alive): exotic birds such as moreporks (with their eerie call) & fantails (who decided to follow); the ostriches, who liked to chase English cyclists & the harriers, who liked to dive bomb them; the more familiar but no less frustrating farm animals, who provided sheep-jams & cow-blocks to slow Josie down. In Long Cloud Ride, Josie brings New Zealand brilliantly to life. Warm, witty & acutely observed as ever, her latest adventure is sure to delight old & new fans alike. ...
