Publisher's Notes
In a series of deeply personal accounts, the author of The Early Arrival of Dreams explores the practice of religious pilgrimage as she recreates the Irish Catholic pilgrimage to Station Island, visits to holy sites in Israel, the Hindu pilgrimage to Varanasi, a trip to Lourdes, and the journey to Santiago de Compostela, among others, and examines the meaning of the pilgrimage in modern life.

Black Tents of Arabia
by Carl R. Raswan
Drawn to the desert by his interest in Arabian horses, Carl Raswan's travels with a tribe of Bedouin nomads--7,000 tents, 35,000 people, and 350,000 camels strong--are rich with adventure. He becomes blood brother to a young chieftain, survives raids, droughts, sandstorms, and more. "This is a really GREAT travel book . . . unwearied zest . . . glows through every day Raswan spends in Arabia".--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY.

Their Heads Are Green and Their Hands Are Blue
by Paul Bowles
"Bowles, one of the four or five best writers in English in the second half of the twentieth century, embraced the desert as a Christian saint embraces his martyrdom. His self-abnegation and his love of traditional culture made him one of the keenest observers of other civilizations we have ever had in America. Unlike his countrymen he did not brashly set out to improve the rest of the world.For Bowles, Americanization was the problem, not the solution.As these startling, sober travel pieces show, Bowles, because of his powers of negative capability, was able to enter into the inner truth of even the most remote places and peoples." -- from the Introduction by Edmund White
