Through personal journeys both interior and across the globe, Alden
Jones investigates what motivates us to travel abroad in search of
the unfamiliar. By way of explorations to Costa Rica, Bolivia,
Nicaragua, Cuba, Burma, Cambodia, Egypt, and around the world on a
ship, Jones chronicles her experience as a young American traveler
while pondering her role as an outsider in the cultures she
temporarily inhabits. Her wanderlust fuels a strong, high-adventure
story and, much in the vein of classic travel literature, Jones's
picaresque tale of personal evolution informs her own transitions,
rites of passage, and understandings of her place as a citizen of
the world. With sharp insight and stylish prose, Jones asks: Is
there a right or wrong way to travel? The Blind Masseuse concludes
that there is, but that it's not always black and white.
